Revisiting this area ... a few more quesitons if I may ...

So, assuming a reasonably level base and that care has been taken with the 2-star alignment, what sort of GoTo accuracy can be expected for the 12" SW Dob? What about tracking drift? And does it change significantly in other parts of the sky, say the opposite side to the two alignment stars? Does it degrade during the evening?

How does it compare to an EQ6 Pro that has done 3-star alignment? (I have one of those, so am familiar with it's performance).
