Ah, okay...

In that case I might stick a camera in the back of the Orion to test my PA & tracking then.. might be more beneficial & certainly takes out any camera rotation out of the equation.

Your the second one to mention that might be the issue; came up in an offline discussion with another member earlier in the evening. He suggested using my ZWO in the 80mm ST to remove that possibility from the equation...

Thanks for that Raymo, I believe I might have a slightly amended plan for moving forward..
