Thanks Chris
I’ve never guided on my HEQ5 mount mount below 1 arc sec total even on a great night of seeing and all my subs have nice round stars to edge of field
I don’t start getting distorted star shape until I’m up over 2 arc sec error
I use the Syncan polar alignment function which takes anywhere from 10min to half an hour to get PA. Star stays in target crosshairs for 3 or 4 minutes before get noticeable drift
EQMOD and Stellarium is great for me , I can find objects in minutes , it’s so accurate , only takes me 1 minute to connect
Startools is great to , easy to use , I use short subs in Sydney due to the light pollution, I dont do narrowband or use filters, Startools wipes away most of the gradients and vignetting etc...
Thanks for your comments
