Well slowly getting everything sorted. The good news is that I have the guiding working really well. I have also got the flattener on the QSI now, but don't thing it is in the perfect position. You will note that the stars just below the galaxy are near round; at the top of the image nice and round, but at the bottom of the image are showing oval shapes. That means that the camera is not square with the optical line. I suspect that there might be some slight sag causing this issue. Any ideas?
Optically this image is far better than the previous one. More detail can be seen. Compare both images with the links below if you like.
New image
Old image
The image does need nearly double the time that is currently has as a starting point. I will do this in the coming months.
I welcome your comments and thoughts.
