Had some more time to try out the scope tonight - definitely an improvement - my PEC seems to be just under 15 now. With only reasonable polar alignment, I can do unguided exposures of around 30-60 seconds at 1000mm. Not consistently, but better than pre-hypertune.
Guiding is still a no go though.
Ive tried every combination of setting you can think of, as well as trying the scope balanced, unbalanced to favour the weights, unbalanced to favour the scope, but PHD keeps losing control of RA, sometimes after only 15 seconds or so - Im actually getting better results by NOT guiding, so Im thinking the mount is not at fault.
I know others have had success with finder guiders but I don't seem to be one of them, so Im going to switch to my 80mm short tube and see how that goes.Anyway, another very frustrating night to be honest - I just with this damn thing would work
