Fred, Phd calibrates fine and away it goes, but then it decides to lose it's guide star, the guide star is reasonably bright, but not overly bright, lets say medium.
Then we get all these squiggly lines as you may have seen in the second post on this subject.
I intend to, when the weather clears, to do one image for a few minutes, without guiding, and see what results i get, obviously it wont be perfect tracking but it might led me in the right direction to what is the problem.
If i just get oblong stars, I will be happy and can say with some certainty that it is not the actually mount or it's working,
Then i will do the same run with PHD on and see what happens there, if i get the result as the image i displayed on the second post than it is definitly in the program.
We will see.
Andrew, yes mate i have experienced that as well and am quite aware of how difficult it can be to guide close to the pole.
Thank You for your response.
Leon
