Hi,
I haven't figured out yet what's wrong. I've been imaging the last couple of nights. I've focused on targets high on the night sky and here the guiding wasn't as bad as before. Still RMS between 2 and 3 (sometimes higher), but if I try on a target lower on the southern night sky I get terrible guiding (RMS between 3 and 6). My PA is dead on with 9" error. I suspect that some of the error can be caused by balancing issues (eventhough nothing has changed on my setup!), but it's still very weird.

@escriban, what's your suspicion leaning towards?

Anders
