Logs...does it generate these automatically? If not, then I don't have them  how, or what's best to record them?

If you open the Setup dialog, at the bottom of the first screen is a button to allow you to tell Metaguide where to store the logs and any "saved" images.
On the main Metaguide screen, just to the left of the AFWHM/Seeing graph ( bottom left ), is a checkbox called "Log", which toggles logging on and off as reqd.
When you do a run, you should check this, and then uncheck it after the run is done, and it will create an individual logfile.
Ie if you want to calibrate and run unguided then guided, you would
a) Set logging ON,
b) Do the Calibrate
c) Set logging Off
d) Set Logging ON
e) Get a lock and then log the "unguided" error plots
f) When done, Set logging Off
g) Set logging ON
h) Select "guide"
i) When done, Set logging Off
That will create three individual logs that can be compared against each other. ie you can overlay guided against unguided.
I have written a app to import / display Metaguide logs, but as per his help file, the logs are formatted such that they can be imported directly into excel etc.
