Another thing to consider is that below about 40 degrees altitude you’re looking through much more atmosphere which can cause the guide star to pulsate and jump around a bit more than higher up. You can see this effect but looking at stars closer to the horizon...twinkle twinkle is not cute, it causes rough guiding
