MIght be cables or balance?
They're not correction jumps are they? - Might mean your alignment was well off and guiding program was jumping to pull it back in regularly.

My DEC axis is particularly sensitive to balance with the Newt. Needs to be very close, but many people say perfect is not perfect sometimes....

What days are you astrofesting Adam?
