3 seconds may be a bit short as you can end up chasing the seeing and 6 seconds tends to even the seeing out. On a high end mount like an AP Mach 1 longer exposures are possible. Shorter ones are usually needed on lesser mounts with higher errors.

Thank you Greg. I probably could try longer guiding exposures, but if it works, don't tweak it Since I acquired Mach1 I am getting a good night sleep with every astro session - no more watching guide graphs and tweaking the settings as the night progresses and no more assisting the mount to recentre after the meridian flip. Just initiate the session and forget.
