Not all go to are equal you have to factor in the mount AZ vs EQ.
The both will go to an object and track it, however only the EQ will turn
Your scope with earths rotation this will keep the image being photographed
In one place without star swirls. AZ type will not compensate hence only used for visual or very shot video or photography. Usually under a minute or so before star trails become appaeent.

Would it not be able to track that object as well?
My Nikon is able to take video - can you please expand on why this would be useful for taking images of the planets? Or point me in the direction of an 'idiots guide' to astrophotography?
thanks
