G11 drift problem

Hi All
Thought i would check with other users of G11s ( non Gemini ) how long they are able to take unguided shots for , the limit on my setup ( 900mm FL ) seems to be 45 secs ( the scope is well polar aligned ).
This seems to be a drift problem rather than a PEC issue , the mount just dosn't track at the correct rate .
ATS tells me that no other owners have had this problem ( although I found one one the web ).
Ive cleaned out the grease and replaced it with a better oil .
The mount works well with autoguiding its just unguided stuff thats a bit limited .
any ideas

Thanks
Zane
