If it calibrates then it has moved the scope in 4 quadrents and has worked out which way the star moves in relation to the guide commands. It flashes red when tracking is lost. It does that to me if I knock the mount, swap a camera, or it clouds over, ETC.

I think you'll find actual scope movement will be miniscual and you will never be able to see or hear it move.
