Here's the latest effort (latest being from last Wednesday).
Being a dozy so & so, I loosened the counterweight shaft instead of the RA lock by mistake and roughly returned the weights to an approximate position without doing a critical re-balance - so I think balance is way off thus affecting tracking.
Stars are uniformly 'eggy' accross the whole field (D'Oh!) but more importantly, after flat blacking all the shiny bits and insides of the extension tubes, it looks like there aren't any large annoying reflections on this one.
And, my new (2nd hand!) Astrotech Flattener was used on this image with no optical surface reflections noted too.
Another step forward hopefully?
