I think I understand you, thanks.

I would have to read more Stark to see if I fully understand the sub pixel star image problem.

That's the issue I see with smaller finder guiders, short focal length.
With "standard" guide cameras the star image (say, 2 arcsec seeing) will not cover multiple pixels unless it's allowed to drift about - which defeats the purpose.
