Thank you, Clare and Peter, I appreciate your comments.

If I were to track/guide at the Sidereal Rate, the photons from the NEO would be spread so thinly across its trail that they would not register using my set up, I would need a much larger aperture or more sensitive camera.

By Tracking on the NEO, the photons all get to fall consistently on the same few pixels, so I get to record it.

Cheers

Dennis
