Duncan,

I dont think these are your problem but, just a few quick tips with your setup, as mine is almost the same;

Let the autoguider settle for a minute before shooting subs.

Turn off live view on the 1000d bofore starting an light, dark or flat to prevent hot spots.

Take the screws off the control panel of your eq6 and pull the motors out and check how hard it is to turn the gears (worm) in the mount. You can autoguide all you want with these mounts and if thats not right, you are chasing your tail. My mount was so tight I couldn't turn the gears by hand.

These are just a few tips that could have saved me a lot of time if I had known them sooner.

Regards
Brett
