Unguided tracking of Mars @ 488X for 25 minutes

Unguided tracking of Mars @ ~488X for 25 minutes...
That's how long it stayed in my eyepiece before I had to punch the
hand-controller....
FYI , Ultima 5mm with same brand 2X Barlow 8"F-6 Starfinder Newt...)
That is the latest test result I pulled from my newly re-engineered LXD500B
GP mount with a
Autostar Goto kit (and about 100hrs of labor.but a labor of love! ugh
)...I might add the mount is some what overloaded with a ~22Lbs optical
payload..
, I think it should more properly be rated at about 16-18lbs payload..
Any thoughts on the tracking accuracy for the first time out?
Good , bad , Ugly?
Thanks and of course,
Cleardarkskies!
