What's your typical guide error (total RMS in arcseconds)? What do you use for autofocus (hardware and software)?

Get perfectly round stars. I do dither (up to 5 pixels) and drizzle integrate in PI. Here's an image from last time I imaged last year

Guide error.... errr.... don't you recall my guide error...essentially, well, none...
Autofocus? No way Jose! Bahtinov and Eyeball Mk.1 for me (zoomed in 300% in MaxIM 6)
Here's my guide error...yeah its in pixels, but I don't use PHD...MaxIM does a FANTASTIC job. Suavi, it is STILL not guiding on a hot pixel
