What it misses and I hope Voyager picks up on is a centering mode where you click on the image and get a target reticle where it is going to center, which APT does and SGP does not. I find it quite often seems to centre on part of the image I did not click on and it goes merrily off somewhere unexpected. Thankfully I generally start with target co-ords set so I can recenter back where I was easily enough. But it runs off somewhere other than where I clicked often enough to be irritating.
There was talk at Astrofest that this poor centering behaviour can happen with QHY cameras not following standard ASCOM protocols, assuming you have one.

+1 about SGP going to the background. Makes life a bit more interesting on a laptop at 1am when you're half asleep
