When the polar alignment worked, the guide scope aligned and calibrated, the RC6 focused and going - it was all critical in the end to attain the ten minute subs required for decent data. Even then - 8 subs in and something went wrong. 4 subs back to back were trailing - despite guiding seeming normal. It was 2AM with a 2 hour drive ahead - and I just finished processing because I always have to look before I sleep.
