(Are you still using PHD2 from within it?)
My focus has been on autofocus however I have played with other functions like platesolve and guiding. I have not nailed these but that is more likely to be setup. I've found the setup process more difficult to get right however to be fair I've had a lot more time playing with SGP. In many ways it offers similar functionality so I suspect it would have similar capability. The one thing that I think SGP has the advantage on however is "centre here". Voyager does not have a lot of centering/framing capability yet.

Yes - it would probably be a lot easier to get a refractor however I like the 10" f4 format.
