Thanks Joshua. SB bit out of my price range currently, but nice to know what's available if I win the lotto and buy a MEII

Interesting they quote different values for correcting unguided drift, but also "simulate the drift method" - lower values. Something to do with correction for refracted pole?
Presumably if you plate solved to find the pole you would actually be pointing at the refracted pole, when the true pole would be required for best guiding. Drift aligning near the median, surely you'd have little refractive effects?....
