Question EQ6..how good?

Hello all.
I'm thinking of acquiring an EQ6 so that I can haunt a few dark sky sights.
I'd appreciate any feedback on this Mount's suitability for Astro-imaging.
Can it track reliably for up to 4 minutes, 10minutes or only 30 seconds?
I know that ultimately it is limited by the accuracy of polar alignment, balance wind force and so on, but given reasonably optimised conditions the mount will still have its limits.
If anyone has comments that might upset the moderators since this is a brand specific query, please just PM me.
cheers,
Doug
