Thanks Roland, after your advice yesterday I'm not really concerned about guiding settings.  My intent was to solicit any general operating tips from users based on their experience.  For instance, it may or may not [much more likely] have occurred to me that I should make sure and pull the RAPAS off before slewing the mount.  I haven't had to do that with my previous mounts.  It hasn't been something I have had to think of before and so I was glad that the topic came up.  So I was just wondering if there are any other useful things to know... that aren't about guiding.  ;-)
