And the result just to show you a little maintenance is worth the effort. So a pier rebuild and a strip and lube of the mount with subsequent realignment using PHD2 mostly. Now I've got round stars and more detail and the guiding graph is much better than it was.
6 min 30 secs of exposure at ISO 1600 with the 1200D (18 exposures ) with an almost full moon nearby.
First clear night we've had since I completed the rebuild.
