The test with the Edge didn't work out because I was too cavalier with setup, got over-confident, so I went back to basics.

In the couple hours between sunset and moonrise last night and with cloud bands rolling through I scrounged another successful image - I paid attention to good alignments and calibrations and tracking was perfect with the AVX and Esprit 80. Even with thin/moderate cloud rolling through the MGEN never lost its guide star.

The LEDs on the MGEN are constantly going on/off, showing the guiding corrections. Is that normal for guiding with any mount, or do the guiders work harder with lesser mounts?
