Guiding works best when you have a good set up to begin with.
Make sure the mount is level and pointed to the SCP. Make sure the scope is properly balanced, esp when using the newt. Make sure you do at least two star alignment so the mount can calculate any offsets etc.
Try and be selective when choosing the alignment stars, you want to place your imaging target within the three alignment stars if possible.
Once all these are done. Then do your guiding calibrations. You should also do drift alignment to fine tune your mount, esp when you are imaging at long FL and for longer subs.
Remember guiding is only for fine tuning and can only work if you laid all the solid ground work above.
It may sound complicated but with practice you can do all these in 30 mins.
Good luck!
