Thanks. Now that you said, I reviewed the image and it seems kind of out of focus. I do a manual focus, using BYEOS + a Bathinov mask. It seems perfect when I lock the focuser. I guess is gets kind of loose while tracking. Maybe I should re-focus after each 10 minutes? Makes sense?

I am really happy with Polemaster. As I take pictures from the same spot, I have marks on the ground for the tripod. However, before each session, I run Polemaster at least twice. Polemaster was a kind of "life saver" for me, as far a polar align is concerned.

Regards, Fernando
