A bit of help.

Geez, where do I start? After what seemed like a successful polar alignment using AlignMaster, I seem to get the Azimuth bang on but the altitude never seems to get quite pin point, not sure if it's just the build quality of the EQ5 or what?

Any did some imaging over the weekend, I had a 60Da on loan and so I though I would give it a bash.
I managed 60sec exposures and they looked fine on BYE.

My stars are making little circles and don't seem nice and round and fuzzy, also, there seems to be serious field rotation but only on the one side of the image...any idea why? Never had this before and it's every frame.

Have a look at the attached file and please offer some words of advice.
Feeling a tad frustrated.
