But you do need that sort of accuracy night to night and I'm afraid to say that with a well tuned eq6 or Losmandy G11, Sequence Generator can do that to within a few pixels. With the plate solving in SG this can be done with a photo taken last year or someone else's image you want to get for yourself and you don't need a PMX to do it with.
Demos at Astrofest if you are interested.

SGP gets me within 2 pixels on my G11 and my current (on loan) camera. I am getting more and more impressed with the program. I'm interested to see how the EQ8 goes, I've been thinking about adding encoders to the G11 and using the SiTech controller with it.
