Hi Gary,
Dead easy. Turn on logging (creates autoguide.log file) and turn
off the guiding for X & Y (see the Autoguide tab : Settings button). Then select a guide star as normal and start autoguiding for a few worm revolutions (15-20 mins). Import the log file into Excel. You'll need to know which axis is RA - depends on the camera rotation.
You're also supposed to do the test on a bright star near Dec 0 deg. I was at about -30 deg Dec for my test.
I'll be watching out for your report - within the week - good news or bad!
Cheers, Marcus
