It's guiding with the OAG that's part of the self guiding filter wheel so no issue with flexure there.
I think there is a bit of flex in the extension tubes attaching the camera to the focuser.

I haven't done a star test. I bought the scope secondhand from a member of this forum who is very experienced with Taks so if there was a manufacturing issue I'm sure he would have sorted that out long ago.
Thanks for the advice guys.
