Re: SCT 10 and ST237 Question

Mr Gray, you haven't specified the type of mount your SCT 10 is on.
So can't advise for you particular case. However in general terms the
answer is "no". The tracking rate is determined by the Earth's
rotation rate. Various mounts allow you to set tracking correction
rates to less than 0.5% (the G-11, for example).
