Greg, I now only do half of the adjustment that is called for in Tpoint. This means i effectively sneak up to the refracted pole. Both my mounts report nil adjustment required. Dec guiding is non existent on either mount. The FSQ has 6 second guide exposures with less than 0.1" maximum movement off centre with RA. The 12" requires tighter guiding exposures, but still a maximum movement in good seeing of around 0.3"-0.4" in RA.
So my recommendation is to try what I did. Otherwise I found that you can overshoot the pole.
