I have the 2 RC extensions plus an additional 50mm extensions, yes the FT took care of the sag, it's a top class focuser, I'm so impressed I order another FT for my FLT110
have you tried using dew strap on your RC?

Not sure I'd consider spending 12hrs imaging a galaxy in NB, not sure it works that well visually really  perhaps it's just the lack of familiarity, should lots of people start doing it perhaps it will look more ..?..fashionable?  but 253 is a nice bright galaxy to experiment with though.
The exercise certainly honed your guiding skills and on a HEQ5 too

I suspect your correct about NB galaxy
but I purchased the RC to mainly capture galaxy so I decided why not have a go in NB.
