Allan,

I run my guide camera from the guide tab - only time I have run it from the exposure tab is to take a run of darks. You then load these darks into the calibrate routine and enable "full calibration" in the guiding tab. I agree the software isn't 100% intuitive, but it's like most software in astronomy - full of unusual terms.

The picture always looks very grainy vs PHD, but the guiding is fine. I'll have to try multi-star guiding and see if that improves things for me.
