I do have flex problems I think.

I have an 80mm refractor on a photo bracket with a QHY5. It needs a 50mm focal extender to achieve focus. So it ain't the most solid guiding option. I want to get a better way to mount the 80mm and maybe even change the guide scope to one which doesn't need a focal extender.

The polar alignment doesn't seem to make a huge difference to the problem, so flex does seem to be the issue.

Thanks!
