Hmm, so its an HEQ, now I am not so worried about the weight. Jakob runs an 80mm refractor on his HEQ and doesn't seem to have any problems but he is autoguiding on his targets but seems to find them ok after alignment.

What if you do a two star alignment and then go back to your first alignment star after it says alignment successful - does that first star appear exactly in the centre of the field of view? If yes I would then slew to a nearby target and see if you can track, then move say 90 degrees further and see how it goes. I am suggesting trying to determine where the errors start.

BTW are you using PAE on your tracking target to correct for that sky zone?
