It's ideal if you can run unguided for a period of time
all i can say is i've seen dozens probably hundreds of logs, and the only time i see that kind of noise is when there is a periodic error correction that is poor quality

I suspect it is noisy because that was a log of an imaging session with
guiding active.? So there was a lot going on in addition to just the
mount's contribution.? That doesn't change the fact that the signals are
there, but it probably does explain the noise.
If I EVER see stars again, I'll do a run with guiding disabled to get a
better look at things.
But am I chasing a phantom here?? PECPrep seems to say my guiding was
excellent at less than 1" P-P.? At the time I didn't think it was that
good.
