Might be - I've been using it for only a few hours in total as I just got it and the weather only were good the first 3 days I had it :/ But I think it may be a good test to attach an external powersource to test if it makes any difference...

I tried finding a manual to how to do it, but found none - can you describe the process?

Okay - I can see why you say balance with the photos you got - but I'm not sure when my first photo is perfect, the second has some trails and even longer on the third - it's accelerating. If I center the object again, it's the same all over again.

I think I balanced it quite well,. but not offset like you say. But howcome the moon stays in center for about a minute and then drifts of faster and faster (video)? Is that wrong balancing?

Yes, I know - check the images, it's not rotation, it's trails in the same direction...

I'm all new to this and got my first telescope (Skymax 127) and a AZ-GTI mount a week ago - got it alligned (using liveview on my camera (perfect centering @ 10x display zoom)) and think it worked quite okay, but during tracking it seems to become worse and worse. I took 3 images with a 15 sec exposure - first looked fine, next had trails and the last even longer trails. I recorded this video of the moon, where I first center the moon and in about a minute it starts to drift off. I wanted to make a similar video with a very bright star and do a "lighten only" layering, so it will be very easy to see the movement in a video, but it's been cloudy since I recorded the video of the moon. Any suggestions to what's happening here or is it just what can be expected of a AZ mount? https://imgur.com/a/6wOIvkM https://imgur.com/a/FfaQxtH https://imgur.com/a/6IbOQIZ
