I walked outside in the morning to see the moon (and therefore NGC 6188) over towards the western horizon and the scope pointing straight up! Nothing damaged though and that’s what’s really important, just a HUGE log of errors from the mount saying “I’m lost I’m lost”

These modern cameras and scopes are really performing so well. An image like that just a few years ago would only be possible with an AP155 or something.
Which Sky Rover is this?

Thanks Greg. Apart from the edges (I’m using 57.5mm back focus instead of 55mm) the detail/resolution of this scope keeps surprising me.
It is the 130mm F/5 Sextuplet, even though it is a F/5.2. By playing with spacing you can get it to F/5 (650mm) but the field curvature is horrendous! It’s best imaging focal length is 675mm.
Irrespective of that, lovely scope to use.
