Spot on there Doug - the problem was no guiding - just relied on polar alignment being close (but I guess it wasn't).

I have some marks for the tripod legs in the lawn and an index mark on the mount. This was a quick and dirty set-up. I'd normally drift align first but was eager to trial the AC adaptor for the 400D (which worked nicely).
