I have Pentax gear and run a K5, my question is would it still function if you actually had it on a tracking mount rather than a fixed tripod.

What method of determining how far to shift the sensor, is it using pure calculations from location and camera direction and inclination.
Or is it more like the auto guide systems we see where it detects light path over pixels and adjusts accordingly?

If it's the later it could still be used on a mount and give longer exposures without the need for auto guiding.
