Good point about the movement of the field. The human eye, like many animal eyes, is better at detecting objects if they are moving. Helps both a predator and its prey. I often give the scope a bit of a bump if I'm having trouble seeing what I'm looking for. I tend to work at the limit of my scope most of the time, and use every trick I can to improve my chances. Once I've identified my target with certainty, I find that being able to look at it (and around it) without the constant nudging and waiting for the oscillations to settle down allows me to see more. It's just what works for me, and I'm sure there are arguments on both sides. We make the best of what we've got.
BTW, my scope is the same as yours, Skywatcher 12" f4.9 flextube. I've got the GoTo on mine. I spent 35 years star hopping and reckoned I'd earned it! It usually misses, though, and I have to micro-star-hop anyway.
