I can't help with any unguided exposure lengths past 30 seconds, as I went straight to using guiding when I got to longer exposures.

However, it's not normal for there to be increasing resistance when trying to rotate the mount on either axis.

Obvious question - are the cable(s) snagging on something when you rotate the mount?

Cheers,
