After several months without a mount (I had to send it back for cleaning and re-lubricated).  I got it back from iOptron and did a test run on M16.

I found that the mount is now running better than ever before, and tracks at an average of 0.25 arc seconds and only needing one guide correction every 1 to 2 minutes due to a slight polar misalignment.
