i have a heq5 pro and i am having problems with my drift alignment. i am relatively new to this ,however i have been successful at this a few times. i understand that drift alignment involves orientating the scope so that a star will not drift north or south while looking to the west( in my case) and at the meridian. i am able to do this. the star will drift niether north nor south for a good 10-15 mins.

my problem is that no matter if i am looking at the meridian or to the west , my star will always drift slowly west in my eyepiece, while remaining perfectly within the lines in relation to north and south.

what am i doing wrong. i cannot get my head around what could be wrong. any help would certainly delay insanity.

thanks
