Are Meade de-rotators good enough to do the following.

Place galaxies on a ST-7 chip at f/6.3 from LX200 Classic 10 inch, and allow for unguided 60 second exposure, with no or minimal tracking or rotation errors?

Are the de-rotators reliable?

I am looking at de-rotators rather than a wedge because the clearance on the scope only allows scope to reach about 70 South when on a wedge. I need to image galaxies between 70 South and the south pole. For galaxies north of 60 South, I will be using my observatory, wedge mount 12inch LX200. Due to trees, I cann't image 70 south from the observatory. I will be moving the 10 around the yard to image areas that I cannot see from the observatory.
