Hi Malcolm

Perhaps there is some focuser or camera tilt?

Do you think maybe it's is better that you post the test pix in the Beginners Section? Frankly I noticed that when newbies (or non-regulars) post in the Deep Space section, most of the time there seems to be lack of feedback from the regulars and experts for some reason or other and hence we learn nothing - but if posted in the Beginners section there seems to be responses at least more than in the Deep Space section - IMO.

I haven't had a chance yet to test anything due to clouds (plus the cold) so I wonder how you managed to arrange with the goddess of the weather to open a crack in the cloud cover for you to be busying imaging - hope to see more test results when you are finished!

Cheers
Bill
