There is a big, excellent, recent thread here on aligning the HEQ5pro and similar mounts. It helped me and I think many others to sort out alignment gremlins... taking the time to really nail that down will pay dividends, no doubt! At your focal length there you should be able to knock out some pretty long exposures unguided.

You're close, mate.. its going to be great!
Ok Jahn - I'll have a look at the exposures I weeded out the ones that had clouds in them. If there is any wisp of cloud in any of the exposures could this lead to diffraction of stars in the final stacked image.
