Cheers mate :-) I love both the Esprit and 674. Great buys imo.
I think I've discovered the likely cause to the guiding issues. This afternoon I went to attach my rig runner to the Esprit tube rings, and unclutched the mount to see if the power cord for the dew heater controller was long enough to reach the rig runner in all orientations. When I did so, I noticed that the RA balance was way off. Unclutched DEC and the same.
I believe these mounts are especially sensitive to balance, and this probably explains the issues I had the other night. I guess we'll see.
I thought I'd balanced everything when I took it up earlier in the day, but clearly I didn't.
