I note you had 3 sec updates..... How well did that go?

Provided you are very well polar align and balanced and there's no wind, so minimum drift or seesaw motion, you can very easily guide with a G11 every 4-5s and get a smoother guiding than every 1s. As a general rule the least amount of corrections you (have to) do the better your guiding will be.
