Thanks Beren,

Will let you know either way. I suspect tightening the lens is a good first step!

Yahoo! Success! I had to refocus as suggested. I suspect I know what the issue was - I bought the pole (together with all the gear you see in my sig) from a guy in Alaska and of course he would have focused it for his elevation. I am only 19 or so meters above sea level so of course it was out of focus.

All good - thanks to you lads. Very much in your debt.

EDIT:

Here's the plate solved screen capture from Polemaster:

Just adding - I've used the Polemaster a few times now and it's getting faster and easier (primarily as I am recognizing those faint stars more and more rather than sigma oct fishing!).

Now just trying to sort PHD2 guiding after some crazy results!! (I'll get there eventually).

EDIT: Anyone notice how the image is upside down in the manual due to the usb connector being on the left (west) as you face the mount? Much prefer it on the right (east).
