great shots.
Regards to the EQ6's and 5's and tracking, i find that its balance thats generally the culprit, with the inherent backlash found on these puppies if you balance it too good it teeters like a seesaw so when the guiding gives the scope a nudge it doesn't stop.
If you plan your night out, then balance your scope from the horison to zenith with a bias to pull the scope back towards the horizon this will pre load the spur gears/motors and increase the accuracy of your tracking!

thats what i found anyhow.
