I was doing a fair bit of Seagulling and checking out everyone else so these were autoguided. During the week I left the mount unattended for anything up to an hour and a half at a time so I didn't want to have to go back and check the alignment of the image all the time, so I autoguided.

I can vouch for that - bumped in to him on the observing field with Ron et al
