Fred, I don't have an image and the sky has been raining cats and dogs. I often have the graph going, but I am using PHD at present rather than maxim. I might give maxim a try next time and see if I can get any sense out of that. The guiding on my Lagoon shot was the same but the stars seemed nice and round.
Matt, the stars are the same axis all the way through the shot, elongated up and down and same width side to side. I have CCD inspector and it tells me I have some where around 4" miscollimation. Something that needs fixing. However different shots show collimation to be near 10" and then back to 3 or 4 again on the following frame. Seeing induced. I think that I will address this on the next clear night down there.
I am also going to use the flattener too. It should flattener out the curvature of the optics.
I really appreciate everyones thoughts. It makes for sorting the problem much easier. Guiding seems to be the one bug bear that will not go away.
