I guess if a Dec drive could be fitted and that wired so that it and the RA drive corrector could be controlled by PHD then autoguiding could be possible with the ancient Sampson mount. Would be a lot of work. For now its hand guiding. With the accurate polar alignment perhaps I could autoguide without making dec corrections.
A great thing would be one of those adaptive optics things that can do fast corrections and I could guide more relaxed
