The better your polar alignment, the longer the moon will stay in view.
It won't be too slow, the motor speed is easy for the manufacturer to get right. The altitude markings on the mount should be taken as a guide only, as they are often out by a degree or two. Your mount will have
different tracking rates, so make sure it is set to Lunar rate when viewing
the moon.
