I am not bothering with pre-tune results, but http://completelyserious.com/pics/mountts/IMG_4672.JPG should give you a rough idea of how bad the movements are. (This is a guided shot, while tracking the stars will occasionally jump around in the eyepiece).
Fingers crossed it doesn't go completely wrong.. |
I never had anything that bad. An example is here

This was taken at 1800mm fl with 120 sec and 300 sec exposures. My guideing is a guide scope using 0.3 sec exposures and guidemaster. The pic isn't anything to write home about but certainly shows nice round stars.
