Thanks! That was exactly what I was asking. I wasn't sure if PHD augmented the mount's tracking or conflicted with it. I never really got a good result with the EQ3. I had a play last night & managed to get a 10 min exposure that I was pretty pleased with. Not amazing by the standards of some of the people on these forums, but I was chuffed for the first night.

Well.... after months of waiting & planning I've just got my EQ6R-Pro this week & it's a massive upgrade of my EQ3. I added a Tracer battery pack which I hang on the counterweight bar so there are fewer wires to trip over in the dark, which seems to be one of my top skills! This maybe a very silly question, but when I'm running PHD to guide, should I have the mount tracking too or turn that off & let PHD do it all?
