Thanks for your input Ken. The amount of noise the mount makes is worrying me and might be the main deciding factor in the eventual mount I purchase. I mean it is really quiet in the dead of night. I realised this on the weekend when I doing my star trail shots. I could hear the click of my DSLR shutter echoing off a neighbour’s wall which is about 40 feet away. So can’t imagine how loud a mount would be. Again, I think slewing at a slower speed or helping it along towards the target will help.
Of course there is a solution for my problem…

Completely silent. Amazing stuff.
