Hi Trevor
I did much the same thing with my el cheapo Chinese mount, following the same set of instructions. It works much better now, but is still not a Losmandy (which I have on order). However I can take 30sec unguided track and stack photos with less than 10% rejects. The attachment shows omega centauri, taken with a 4" f12 reflector and about 25 stacked 30 sec exposures. Camera was a Canon 350D.
