Yes – there is a big difference between a tripod (on a carpet floor) and an astronomical set up.
However, when trying to squeeze every last drop of image quality from your set up, it is worth optimising everything you (sensibly) can, to remove any potential sources of image degradation, leaving only those factors beyond your control.
