Good to hear, I love watching the guide centroid plot, it's a bit of a weird fetish of mine, likely left over from having to endure backbreaking eyeball guiding back in the day when I recon the guide errors I was ending up with were measured in multiple arc sec!!...now, with the AP1600 and modern autoguiding, if the seeing is good, heck, it stays
under 0.2 arc sec! ie perhaps 50 times better or more?! It's amazing...it's like watching a good Netflix series to me, the consistent FWHM, on the night of the attached guiding screen in Astroart, was around 1.6" so that helped of course
(NB this is a mobile phone photo of the screen through old ripped crinkly red cellophane, loosely attached to the lap top screen...very high tech

PS: did the whole imaging session from inside the house as have a wifi camera now setup to watch the ob so I can check to see if mount slews etc, only have to open and close the roof, at present

That's very cool and what I am about to get setup too.
Enjoy the fun
