This is an old scope I made 24 years ago, it has a few creaks and groans. Some nights it's fine, like yesterday I could go for 5 minutes without trails. Except for short subs of a minute or less, they all look trailed tonight. It could be the angle setting it off. Or the temperature. I've had flex issues with this scope before. I suspect it's in the mirror mount I made. There's no locking screws on the adjustments.
That looks cool do you image though the window?
