Hi Alex,
I don't know if you have sorted your guiding as yet but here are a few more suggestions.

You don't need the AO graph so you can get rid of it unless you are using Adaptive optics which I assume you aren't.

You are using too bright a star for guiding, it is saturated so it can't establish a centroid, use a fainter star.

Increase your dec aggression to about 90.

Decrease your min motion, not sure what guide camera and guide scope you are using but I use about 0.15. These parameters should be established using the brain to set up.

When you have done this and it is calibrated use the guiding assistant and let it run for about 2min and let the backlash assistant run as well. The recommendations are usually pretty good and they can be set.

Again make sure you are guiding South but I use Auto.

George
