Got stacks of similar shots too . I took the mount apart, degreased it, re-lubed it. That sorted out the wavy trailing. Once I had "straight" trailing I tried to balance the mount better. That took care of drift in RA. If you still get drift in DEC then better your Polar alignment, but it's more forgiving.

Worked for me (so far). Hope this helps.
