I may have found the problem! I've got the Orion 80mm guidescope on top and it's only mounted on with the rings, no 2nd dovetail at the top to stop any flexure of the tube.. I had the tube on the ground and went to lift it by the open end and was surprised at how much the laser moved when I barely lifted it a few mm off the ground! I'm going to order a 40cm dovetail as well as the losmandy rings for the autoguider.. I checked everything else with a fine tooth comb tonight and can't see any other problems.
