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.
Now your not making sense. Hard bolt everything (incld guide cam), wiggle everything (anything remotely loose?, at ALL). If not, kill yourself. I suspect yr cheating, How can one thing be within 1 pixel and another not?. Assuming your looking at the guide graph ALL THE TIME and its not going nuts.

Your not trying hard enough.............Or your mirror is flopping around, unlikely
