How far out of balance is the setup ??? .. Balance issues are relatively easy to correct.
Not sure why you moved a weight to counter star drift in your alignment either. All adjustments in a drift alignment are RA and DEC.
I had very similar pictures to these when I started and it was all due to guiding. I did have a good polar alignment, but the mount (HEQ5PRO) wasnt up to the task. I must have bought a (Friday build).
So make sure
1. Your balanced WITH your camera gear attached.
2. Drift align and adjust your AZ or ELEV to get a good polar alignment.
3. IF 1 and 2 above are satisfied and you cant get a reasonable result it looks like some function of guiding is your problem.
Good Luck
