Thanks you Colin. Guiding is definitely better than with my AZEQ6, so I am happy.

This is exactly what I did
so last night I only needed to very slightly adjust the mount and it took me only 10 minutes to PA.
I remember with my previous mount the lowest RMS error I got on a few occasions was 0.42", but such nice guiding never lasted and usually RMS error was between 0.6-0.8". So it is encouraging to see that with my Mach1 I am now getting about half of previous mount's RMS errors.
But what I also like is a non-existent/negligible backlash with Mach1, so repositioning on the same target on the following night was quick and accurate at first attempt to within 3pixels, while with my AZEQ6 it often took SGP quite a few corrections to centre on the target being imaged over several nights.
