Not quite the case - I just found it SOMETIMES not finding very suitable guidestars in my severe light pollution. The Lodestar conversely offers me DOZENS to chose from, even in WORSE LP since moving. Maybe my SSAG was a dud. Not sure, but the Lodestar has been worth the outlay for sure! (I got my latest one when Claude was selling them at $600 NEW)
I use SOLID rings - no lateral or vertical adjustment possible. What my finder- guidescope sees, the main scope sees. Being close in f/ratio they see similar FOV.
I will state that I never had to move the scope with the SSAG either - I used Borg mini-rings back then - no movement. The stars with the SSAG just were always VERY dim and PHD would lose the star a LOT.
