You would be surprised how wind gusts affect your guiding on long subs , even with this big robust beast of a scope and mount
Steady light wind not much of an issue but medium to strong wind gusts or shifts definitely upset your guiding resulting in bloated or oval shaped stars
My 8” and EQ6-R is no slouch and it’s happened to me on so many occasions I’ve lost count
Hence the comment about the tarps , they have saved many a nights imaging
