I think we are talking past each other here.? I completely understand
what you are saying.? I only continue this line of inquiry because as
far as I know, while guiding may mask PE issues it does not CREATE
periodic error.... correct?? So the periodic error I see in a guide log
at the bearing frequency of 76s is real and only the relative magnitude
is questionable, right?

So my question remains..... the PHD2 frequency analysis of a GUIDED
session shows an 0.8" residual error at the bearing frequency of 76s.? I
assume that represents the remaining RMS amplitude of the guide star
error after guiding corrections have been applied?? If so, I am not all
that concerned because that is better than my typical seeing.? It may be
(and probably is) worse uncorrected but for now I am interested in
understanding and evaluating the CORRECTED performance since that is
what ends up in my images.

In the absence of stars, all I can do at present is work with what I
have, which are about ten guided sessions.? I'd love to do a 30 minute
unguided session but that does not look likely for many days.

I'm ready to just drop this and forge ahead alone, but seeking input
from those who understand this more than I currently do seemed logical?
? I think I am asking rational questions?
