Voyager was not much more than that either. The only hassle I had was related to using a CCM (Cheap Chinese Mount) and the way EQMOD and Voyager interacted with each other. Possibly also a difference in the way Voyager handles plate solved pointing compared to SGP as well.

Long story short, Voyager does one thing I like more than SGP, it images right up to flip time (Which is AFTER the meridian) so you don't loose imaging time in the best part of the sky. But you need your mount to be set up to track well past the meridian and you need to delay the flip long enough to be 100% certain that the scope will end up pointed west of the meridian after the flip (Cone error etc) or EQMOD will reject the sync after the flip and you land in trouble. After sorting that I have had about 20 flawless flips while I have been in bed. The only thing that has stopped one since was cloud.
