Even doing this you will get field rotation, it is an unavoidable consequence of using an Alt/Az type mount.

The star trails you are seeing are probably a combination of tracking errors and field rotation. You have to remember that this scope was not designed for long exposure deep sky imaging, it's a visual scope for the most part.
