Thanks for that. unfortunately none of my gear is permanently mounted, and i every time i want to try my hand at this i have to bring it out from inside and get aligned, so that would explain the drift, although i didnt think it was that bad, and i have seen worse! i need that, and i am guessing a light pollution filter is needed, as after about 90 secs-2mins the sky becomes washed out and bright orange !!

thanks for the advice and kind words though.
