Hi Martin

Are you referring to Star Alignment here?
That's interesting, as I tend to only do 1 star alignment, after polar aligning (with PoleMaster), and usually on Jupiter because it's so bright currently
I've been able to track 4 mins unguided, albeit at shorter focal lengths (550mm).
No idea if this is "good" or not, as I'm still a newb, but I'm happy with the accuracy for now.

Haven't started thinking about autoguiding, but I guess I'll have to when I need to go deeper (and then will likely require more star alignment points?)
