Next time its an issue I'll check that. I am using 6 second exposures and tuned the aggressiveness, usually its low as you say these are accurate mounts and too aggressive corrections just chase the seeing.

I think I have the aggressiveness around .6 with 6 second guide exposures. I have used 9 if the guide stars are dim and it does not seem to make a lot of difference to the guide errors.
