Ok, modification for tonight.

Removed the WO and the SBS plate. To reduce weight even further I used a Stellarvue 50mm finder for a guidescope and the SX ExVeiw as the guider. I mount the SX with Losmandy guiderings on top of the VC.

First show was 5 min Centaurus A. No change, still drifting in the same direction and the same amount as previous. Cloud then came in so I swung over to M46 (similar alt to Cent A) and took 2 x 5 min shots. Hardly a pixel movement between the two shots. I then swung back to Cent A and managed 1 x 5min shot before the cloud came in. Perfectly round stars.


??????? Its got me stumped.
