Seestar S30 Pro - Star trailing on first frames (EQ Mode)

Subject: Seestar S30 Pro - Star trailing on first frames (EQ Mode)
Message:
Hello, on my Seestar S30 Pro (EQ Mode, 30s subs), the first 4 frames are always rejected due to star trailing. After that, it works fine (10% total rejection). Is this a known tracking or backlash issue?
Setup: EQ Mode, 30s exposure, Leveling < 0.1°.
Thanks..

JAgv3iEE Sounds like backlash. If you then go to another object do you see the first few frames being rejected also and then settling down again. In other words, does the problem persist when you Seestar goes to each new target?

ZWO recommends adding weights to help with backlash, I have tried it as an experiment and made my guiding a lot worse....
