No idea what it all means and how good or bad the tracking/guiding is. I read the manual but it meant nothing to me as I don't understand Nerd talk. Can someone simplify it for me?

I did a snapshot of my guiding graph tonight. The guider is an old SX lodestar. 752x580 with a pixel size of 8.2um. The focal length I'm guiding at is 2630mm so the image scale on the guider is ~0.65 arcsec. Tonight is better than yesterday. This graph is also typical of what I get when I guide through my C11 at 2800mm. It could be tighter but the stars are still round(ish). when I guide through the old Q at 530mm the graph is almost flat but that's because the image scale goes to over 3 asp so one graph row with the FSQ is ~6 rows with the CN-212 or C11. The zoomed stars are the ones in the white box insert.
