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.
That's quite a smart approach. I like that. I may do that myself. Those are very low guide errors and also further proof you get superb seeing.
You wouldn't see those numbers in poorer seeing.
