This happens to me as well. For example I image with a ST2000 XCM which is a 2 megapixel camera. Over the period of say three hours taking 10 minute subs my images 'move' about 10% top to right and need to be cropped out after stacking.
I guess this 'pixel creep' is caused by inaccurate polar alignment. The guiding can still keep the guide star centered but over a three hour period it 'wanders'.
On a large format camera or DSLR this would not be a problem but on my camera you lose nearly 10% of the image after stacking.
