Hi Jamie, No, set to sidereal as usual; in any case 1000mm focal length
should allow for around 1/3rd sec with no tracking at all. Even at 1/60th sec they were still well elongated, so I don't think the problem has anything to do with tracking. I wondered if something inside the camera had come loose, but general daytime shots are perfect. We'll see what happens tonight, assuming not too much cloud.
