HowTo Improve Tracking.

How do I improve tracking on my mount. I want longer subs on my images, I want smaller stars and better FWHM figures.

I know the answer is to buy a better mount but that's not going to happen any time soon so what else can I do.

Ive been told if I use a longer FL guide scope I'll just be chasing atmospheric ghosts. Then how does adaptive optics work? Doesn't it just update guide commands faster in order to chase the atmoshpere?

Should I pec train the mount? I was told you dont need to pec train if your are guiding?

Who has the answers, can you tell me please.
