Yes it's an HEQ5 Pro GoTo. I have always been able to track for around
100-110 secs anywhere in the sky, provided I have taken the time to get the error down to less than about 30", so I've never found the need to use PAE. My tracking now is appalling everywhere in the sky; 15-20 secs
max. with the 80mm, should be around 200-240 secs. One thing that intrigues me greatly, is when I am getting to the final tiny adjustments,
one of the two stars I'm using will be close to the square in the reticle EP,
but when I move to the other one, it is outside of the reticle EP's F.O.V.
altogether. I have also noticed that the go to accuracy varies significantly
regardless of how well I do the P.A. Last night it was Canopus and Rigel.
Canopus got closer to the square with each iteration, as it should, but
even when the error readout was down to around a minute or two, Rigel
stayed outside the F.O.V. each time I moved to it. It is so weird.
