So that means your star will be elongated by one and a quarter pixels in the y direction for each minute of sub exposure duration. Which way do you have the camera orientated - ie is x lined up with RA or DEC?

The other thing to check - is this the same amount of drift regardless of where the scope is pointing - ie is it worse when the scope is pointing east/west/directly overhead etc.
