It's a fair point, though. I have my Losmandy G11 tripod permanently on my balcony so it stays polar aligned. I just put the mount and scope on when I want to observe. Last night I assembled and aligned the cope, pointed it at M8, and went for dinner. An hour later I took my sons out to have a look, and there was the Lagoon, dead centre.

That's with a GEM mount, though. I have no idea whether a GOTO Dob tracks that well.
