What it could be is a combination of the greater weight now that I have the extra dovetail for guidescope, in combination with a 12v supply as opposed to 15v. 15v 90w meanwell power supply on its way and will arrive tomorrow, in combination with lazy eyeball balancing of the scope.

I will give a few things a whirl and try the turning off of tracking suggestion and see what happens!

as an experiment, I did try the camera in there at 200x ish equivalent, and on 5x crop there was still a bit of jumping around (again during very poor seeing).
