Checked with another autoguider tonight, still the same problem. Tomorrow night will strip everything off the scope except the Tak and I will use it as a guidescope this should tell if it is a balance problem. Currently I have the side by side losmandy plate with a Tak TGM guiding mount on it is an ED80 as the guidescope. If this is the problem and I doubt it is, looks like I will be doing a piggyback setup. Have had the side by side for a couple of years with no guiding issues. Got a horrible feeling it may be the Gemini guiding port, but need to get a lend of another Gemini to confirm this. It could be the RA and DEC leads, but if they were a problem, it would not slew and do all the other stuff that it is doing correctly, like pointing etc. Certainly a strange one that is for sure.:s hrug:
