Thanks for the informative reply.
But this bit nails it ( for what i was trying to convey earlier in the thread )

I think as other members mentioned that When the PE is on arcsec level and you still want to guide better because of the telescope resolution. Then you need feedback from the sky by autoguiding.

Or use a lower class of drive and adaptive optics???
( There are multiple ways to skin a cat for a price )
Ie at the end of the day, you always need a way to keep the "camera" synchronised to the sky, not just a drive going at a set rate with no PE.
Just for info, i also noted that the design "looked" like it would be subject to flexure ( esp between the base and the DEC drive assy ) when under load.
Do you have any measurements for this ( at the arcsec level ) when loaded with 130kg of scopes???? ( or better still a very offset load )

PS I do like the design principle, just interested in how good the real world numbers are.
