“Jello” video

I’m having some difficulty getting steady images of sections of the moon.

I’m using a C14 on a Titan mount with a Neximage 5 camera.

I find that I need to set binning at 2x2 to get any sort of stability in the image but even then I get horizontal lines of “jellied” video which scroll from top to bottom of the screen.

Adjusting the counterweights to perfect balance seems to reduce this effect but it persists.

It appears to be the RA tracking causing this as moving the counterweight either side of balance increases and decreases the effect but I cannot eliminate it completely.

Any ideas on how to resolve this?
