Cheers, I'll check that out.
Spent last night out under the lunar eclipse and spent the first hour glued to the 9mm illuminated reticle eyepiece (200X). The star would start off in the center box and then in the course of a couple minutes would wander outside the box over to the edge of the first circle and then slowly meander back. Does this sound par for the course of a sub $2K mount? I should have lined up Jupiter in the eyepiece to give me an idea of scale - I'll do that next opportunity so I can figure out exactly how much PE there is. Looking at my first and last frame of a series spanning 40 minutes, there's a little over 1 arc min difference.
