The OAG is part of the camera and the camera is not that heavy. I don't have a electronic rotator but I do have the Tak one on board. Worth a try at least.
I meant that the camera is not balanced. I use a MOAG and Sbig guide camera, there is considerable torque placed on the rotator by this when it's not vertical.

No rotation between subs means that your PA is fine (congrats, I find this one of the hardest things in imaging).

Could still be the Tak rotator flexing, but it's sounding less likely, focus issues are now the leading contender.
