You will not know yourself h0ughy once you align a permanent pier by drift aligning. Some nights I think my guiding setup is not working and after about ten or twelve minutes it clicks. I still have a relay box on the parallel port that nudges the RA and DEC via the handset of my Mel Bartels system. I wired it myself as this way I am in control! The really nice thing is I have the relay box wired into the handset and the sensitivity can be set in Mels software. The trick is to balance aggressiveness with speed of guiding.
