Sorry if it's slightly off topic but I was of the impression that if you use auto-guiding then mount errors etc won't matter much as the auto-guiding will just keep the guide star centered anyway. Is that a simplistic view?
I have the Losmandy G-11 myself and am very happy with it. However I'm asking because currently I'm not using any form of guiding and haven't used the PEC either. I plan to upgrade to an SBIG ccd cam soon and haven't really given much thought to the whole mount precision issue, sort of anticipating that auto-guiding will solve any problems. Maybe I'm wrong?
