Programs like PHD can do a centroid find on a soft or coma affected star quite well. Back focus may be an issue - if the OAG is 30mm wide say - its has to be accounted for in your reaching accurate focus.

Its most common to see OAG used on long focal length tubes - like SCT which also have a serious lot of back focus available from their inate design of moveable primary mirror.
