Calling all OAG users

Been doing some reading about an OAG compared with a dedicated guidescope and was wondering if it's a worthy change for my setup.

As I understand the OAG significantly reduces weight on the setup however it's tricky to get the guide camera in the OAG and imaging device (say a DSLR) both in focus.

I tried guiding for the second time the last few nights. Overall it was ok but when taking long exposes my images came out a bit blurry. Also I noticed with some shots every 2 photos it would be blurry so unsure if there is a tracking issue with my mount or it could be the guidescope setup.

Wanted to ask around and get peoples opinions on using an OAG for an SCT and if it's a worthy change?

Thanks!
