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 https://www.astrobin.com/full/mv7lg0/0/


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 (another shot when there was a minor burp here: http://www.iceinspace.com.au/forum/a...e.php?a=225766)
