Hand guiding with a drive corrector and illuminated recticle eyepiece is not too hard if the scope is drift aligned. I have marks on the concrete slab where the legs go and only have to slightly tweek the alignment. This has been great for imaging comets, eclipses, transits and rock solid for piggybacking telephoto lenses. Never did much deep space stuff though mainly due to the hour long exposures needed for 35mm film.
