It may mean less seeing related corrections and more corrections that are PE based. Its not the guide exposures I am interested in its the more accurate tracking in poorer seeing for the imaging camera that I am interested in. It could be hogwash hence the test.
It would be interesting to see how this compares with adaptive optics, i.e. chasing the seeing with the fast AO plate and driving the (slow) mount to correct major periodic error.

I'll conduct a test and post the results. I have to get a filter first.
I look forward to seeing your results.
