Is it possible that the RA control autoguide has been reversed? If you are losing the guide star after only 15 seconds it may be guiding in the wrong direction? Even when I have forgotten to plug my autoguider into the mount head (stupid) it still takes several minutes to lose the guide star.

Actually its not losing the guide star - it stays locked on, but the graph shows drift, and the images show oval stars.

The calibration step works fine, so I am assuming that the communication is working.
