We to have just started autoguiding with PHD, so can appreciate your joy in using this great little program.
All our images have been unguided up until now.

Thankyou for the comment Astroman!! There not quiet perfect but I think its a great start! Some of the blurring towards the bottom left corner is from a warm mirror still cooling down and the thermal currents rising to the top side of the tube. must install a fan oneday!!
cheers

I used to hand guide up to 30 min with film and then 10-15 min with digital. The other night mt autoguiding setup was playing up a bit and the thought of hadguiding the rest of the night crossed my mind, but was quickly dismissed.
