Michael, its easy enough to do with most autoguiding software which can write the errors to a log file. Guidemaster does this. You can then bring the data into something like excel or openoffice and graph it.

Took another look at Maxim DL.
Appears you can save the guide corrections fairly easily to a log file.
Data can then be imported into Excel.
Must give this a go on the next clear night.

Another possibility is PEMPro and which is available for a demo/trial period. It is REALLY good! Checkout the CCDWare website.
