Hi Ross,

The tracking is fine. I usually do two star polar alignment in the region of the sky I am interested in. Additionally, the CGE Pro hand controller allows one to do "All Star" polar alignment that helps to polar align the mount for increased precision while tracking and autoguiding. As for autoguiding, the StarBook was driving me up the wall. Once I installed NexSXW, all the problems were gone. No more strange jumps in declination, no more grinding noises. I installed the NexSXD in my new SXD mount too and I am not going back to the old board.

Cheers,
Matt
