My answer is yes. I found this out when checking the alignment for the
finderscope to the main tube. The scope seemed to move during my
alignment. I watched it slowly track the normal sky movement. So as
star's appeared that evening I centered one and it tracked for at least
15 mins. Now as to how well it would do over the period of say an hour I
have no idea.
