Thanks LIS
I think what maintained round stars for hours with was the fact that both RA and DEC were similar even though the spikes were up around 2 arc sec. There were no large moves in DEC like you get when your guiding is tight under 1 arc sec and you lose the guide star momentarily , or a wind gust hits you or a big dither sends the mount sideways things like that. Even during a dither ( every second sub ) the mount just hung in there
It just proves how good these low end budget EQ6-R mounts are in poor conditions
Thanks again
Cheers
