IMO, the bigger failure of the FSQ system and resolution is the focal length change with temperature. This has become such an annoyance, I've dropped my 40 minute subs to 30 minutes.

The AO-X/FSQ creates what I call "single pixel guiding"....works for me

Running 10 minute subs and I had to tweak the focal plane after every sub.
