Guiding "issue"

Hi all

Just got the big mount and scope (2400mm focal length RC) up on the pier again. Spent most of the day getting the PC ready and the scope and gear ready to go. I am using NINA.
All the usual dramas when setting something up after a break but got through it. Tried some testing tonight. I noted after calibrating in PHD2 and guiding for a bit that the Dec axis is always below the line with all the corrections (red bars) all North. I thought the guiding was consistently pretty good with an error I thought was reasonable but I have never seen this one sided behaviour before. I checked and can’t see a physical reason for it. I did balance the scope on both axis when I set it up and the mount is somewhat forgiving on this anyway.
I have snipped a bit of the guiding graph and it was consistent for over an hour while I did test subs. Any ideas on why this is happening and what I could try to fix it?
