OK, well maybe 2 minutes unguided at 770mm is just too long then!! Looks like I have to buy a guidescope.

There wasn't even a slight breeze last night. It will be last last dark sky night tonight. I will try to get a series of shots of the whole worm gear period with the polar alignment out and maybe that will give up some clues.

I can't feel any unwanted movement either.
