I have yet to use any of the autoguide sofware I have drivers for PHD though I note from here that Guidemaster might be better. I dont actualy have an autoguidable mount as yet but would like to experiment with guide software and have the star on the screen and basically me to the adjusting, eg when it drifts one way in dec to use the speed control to compensate. Does both PHD and qguide allow you to see the guide star in real time?
I note that Q guide does dark subtraction too
