Yep... K3's Drift explorer is utterly amazing... I saw it in action for the first time last weekend, Paul went from where he plonked his tripod down, to accurate to within 1 arcsec/min in no time flat....

The very next night, I had bought a copy of K3CCD V3, and executed the exact same process at home.. It took me a little longer than it took Paul, but 30-40 minutes, it was all done and dusted... I tested it by putting my C11 on the mount, a 3x barlow, diagonal and a 12mm reticule, placed a star in the crosshair, and walked away... came back 10 minutes later to see the star had moved about 1/4 of its own diameter (SFA given the focal length)

Amazing.
