I suspect at 625x you are using 'empty magnification', ie you won't see any more detail than at 300x or so. And as you say, it's hard to track manually at that mag too.

Interesting.. not sure if it was so hazy near me, but the sky was fairly bright to the north, perhaps scattered light from haze. hmm we're only 20km apart.
The 625x was purely for the star collimation. The limit for my scope is about 500x in perfect seeing anyway, so I wouldn't push that far normally.
