The image is not cropped so the Tak fllattener is working.

When (if ) I get another clear night I will reduce my polar alignment error.


Hi Chris. It is a great picture anyhow. I am not an expert and could not give you precise advices. I may tell you my experience with stars elongated in one side (all side, not only the left up corner as yours): the counterweight bar was kind of loose and shaking. Do not know how this happened. Maybe while balancing the mount. Anyhow, after that the one side elongation went away.
