Cheers Rastas.

I think Alex is barking up the wrong tree also with the balance theory. This problem has been hounding me for months having tried different OTA's, fixed and adjustable guide scope rings, heavier dovetails and different cameras.

The images look good near the meridian however the flexure gets worse as the scope approaches the horizon and the resulting stars become a dogs breakfast.
