25 minutes is a long time to go with no guiding and ProTrack disabled unless your polar alignment is very good indeed. A great big R Lee Ermey "Hoorah!" to you if your polar alignment is that good. In my case, in order to go that long in CCDsoft I had to increase the tracking box size or whatever it's called so that the star didn't slowly drift all the way outside the box.
