You can change aggressiveness and min move on the fly while guiding. You can see the settings below the graph.

I'm am not across eqmod so don't know where you set backlash compensation for your setup.

Tell us what your auto guider is and your main imaging camera and scope.

This is so we can help work out what your mimove settings needs to be to give you round stars.

So provide the following

Main scope: focal length and aperture
Guide scope : focal length and aperture
Imaging camera: chip pixel size in um eg 5.5 um
Guide camera: chip pixel size in um


The relationship between your guide scope and main scope is important to help get guide settings right.

As mentioned before ccdcald is a great tool to work out your arc sec per pixel for your guider and your main imaging scope.
