I have a star adventurer and I agree that more than a minute for a heavy lense and camera is too much unless you you tweak the whole assembly with perfect balance and weights and have a super heavy tripod on concrete. There are many examples on cloudy nights of tweaked balanced assemblies with some success. Mine works better bolted to a wedge on a pier.
Also the azimuth adjustment bolts which allow alignment also need tightening once you have aligned and the altitude plastic tightening handle can be a problem along with the clutch plate.
