The moon's apparent motion is currently about 3-4" per minute in Dec, for example.

The tracking rate is set to Siderial.
Last time I measured it ( and from memory ) the drift rate is very different depending on RA:
0 deg Dec, Meridian: ~ 5"/ min
0 deg Dec, horizon: ~ 0.2" / min
If it clears I'm going to run some more tests tonight. In particular, see what the Synscan reports while tracking with PHD and also look to see if the drift direction is the same either side of Zenith.
