Give it a try. I would set the interval to 1 sec. If you don't have one
you can borrow my SSAG.

My main point is that I would want the guider to hold the star still for 3
10 second intervals for B V R I bands.

I might point out though, that you don't need to recalibrate for every
field, unless you are making large moves in declination...

I too use the SSAG with PHD Guide. Paul is right. Calibration time depends
on the sample rate. I sample at 1 sec intervals and it takes about 2
minutes max if I remember correctly. My guide scope is a 80mm f/5 scope.

Has anyone had any experience with the Orion Star Shoot Auto Guider ? How
long does it take to calibrate the axis movements before it starts to auto
guide ? I am thinking about using one with a 80 mm f/7.5 guide scope to keep
a star centered in a 80 sec reticule on my photometer for at least 150
seconds. Does it take longer than that for the guider to star working
properly.
Thanks
