Hoping its a clear night tonight and will try all your suggestions.
Make another attempt at drift align
Will balance again to make sure it is ok, I also am running a 5 metre usb extension cable from Orion autoguide camera because the cord isnt quite long enough to get to my laptop perhaps that might be an issue although the guide camera does light up and flash whilst its suppose to be guiding so the cable is probably ok.
Will let you guys know how it went.
Luckily the Observatory director from my local club has offered to come past one night this week and check it out for me.
