well done George,
you can tell the 12" is a real light bucket !
the images are pretty good despite the short exposure time.
I agree with Mike, seems to be a touch of trailing, probably just enough to make it look like focus is out, which, if it is , would only be out by a tiny fraction.
I take it you use the toucam to autoguide.
Might have something to do with balancing but possibly also the aggressiveness (not enough) of the guiding software?
you'll get there for sure
(i just had similar issues this weekend past until i ensured the weight imbalance was a bit more pronounced on the rising part of the gear to ensure the worms sit properly or something...
I was accustomed to a certain weight differential with my previous mount the CG5 but now with the G11 I had to make it a little more pronounced and the trailing i was getting (very similar to yours in early attempts with autoguiding) disappeared.
Also played around with aggressiveness in PHD (autoguiding software)
hope this helps
cheers
frank
