Wind and/or clouds will throw off the guiding.

Hi Mike,

I would classify guiding errors as 'eggy stars'. I'm not sure what is causing though. Out of 5 sub frames, 1 or sometimes 2 have eggy stars.

My drift alignment was very accurate because I observed no drift.

Bad seeing or wind could have caused guiding errors but from my last imaging session. There was hardly any wind and the seeing was average but steady.
