Anyone with experience with guiding the Vixen SXD mount with Sbig ST series cameras?

I use the AO-8 in lieu of guiding the mount and it works very well. The SXD periodic error is around 15 arc-seconds. With the ST-4000XCM the AO-8 can adequately compensate for the SXD PE up to about 2500mm focal length without requiring mount guiding.

Thanks for the reply. It was mentioned to me by Vixen Tech Service (they were very responsive) that I should expect a PE of approximately 5-7 arc seconds after PEC. I will be using an ST7XME and it was indicated it should easily produce accurate guiding even without PEC. Vixen indicated that without PEC one could on average expect error in the 10-12 arc second range.
