Well I did a quick set tonight, racing against time as a huge band of
cloud swept in.

This set demonstrated to me that my SSAG is working like a friggin charm!
Guide speed corrections are good enough. A little polar alignment that
shows in dec drift evident. (DEC AG was disabled, RA only for this set)

Bodes well for wide field with the ED80 / QHY8 combo, piggybacked on
the 12" OTA.
30s exposures on the QHY8.
Comments/ suggestions welcome, for this autoguide beginner!
