Hi Daniel, the tracking on the Goto is pretty good, but in this image I manually tracked it using the hand controller. The reason why is that if manual corrections have to be made whilst autotracking, the backlash at some of these magnifications takes it out of view. Manually tracking avoids that and I'm too lazy to align sometimes (even though it's easy!).
All that said, the autotracking is quite good.
Michael, I've gotten used to manually tracking over the last few months, so it's just a matter of time. The response of the scope to manual movements without autotracking is better than when autotracking is on. I guess it's just a preference.
Hi Derek, I did do Venus from that evening but haven't processed it yet, will put it up when I do.
Tom
