Hi Peter, I have a similar problem since month’s now. During night is a bad time for investigating such issues. For this reason and the bad weather conditions I still have not found a solution. Can you please make an experiment? 

For polar alignment and plate solving I just switch to my guiding camera and the guide scope before I start. You must always change both the camera and the telescope, otherwise the things can’t work. Please check if it’s working for you too when you are using not a DSLR. In my case it’s working fine then. This is okay for polar alignment but not so helpful for framing the target. I’m always trying to make the guide scope pointing to the same position as the primary scope. It’s just a workaround until we have found the reason for this issue. Please let me know if it’s working for you too when no DSLR is used. In this case we are in the same boat… hopefully this helps to find this soon.
