G11 with gemini need help

Guys I need someone with experience with both the mount and gemini.

Everything is working well and accuracy is very good but PEC is really giving me the *****.

Not long ago I was getting up to 5 minute unguided exposure...now I am lucky to get 20seconds before I get severe star trails...I have done my drift align and thats fine....all my problem's are pec related...the stars are just jumping up and down.

So easy fix you say....just train the PEC..yep so I do the PEC training.....its says pec is active....nothing changes.....my pec is terrible.....for example a bright star is moving from side to side about the width of 5 stars in less then 1 minute....so you could imaging what the stars look like in just 30seconds.

Am I doing something wrong...this is frustrating me ATM but everything else is working perfectly.

Any help is very much appreciated.
