Will investigate the differential guide rate. My thinking though is that its a calibration setting as when calibrated it guides fine.

Its worth investing some time to get Pinpoint LE going if you can Pete. Admitedly over 300mg of HD space needed, but once you can plate solve you can right click on your images to fine tune pointing position, do very accurate sync's as well as quick no nonsense guiding cal.

Sorry, I didnt give plug in URL:

If you are doing a manual cal, good idea to pick a brighter star well in toward centre of field of view, then watch it like a hawk to make sure that's what Maxim is using. It often misbehaves for me the moment I look away...
