1480mm focal length with a small chip size. The ATIK 320E is 1620x1220 with 4.4 um pixel size.
As for trailing, I am wondering if it is a balance issue. Maybe near zenith when the counter weight is level with the scope the balance is more critical. Having said that, it doesn't explain Eta Carina being bad. Anyway, it was a first night at the new spot in the backyard so it might take me a while to find a good polar alignment. I still need to learn to drift align some time... I always just use the CGEM polar alignment function... I also need to do a PEC some time too but the hassle of putting the hand controller through the laptop always seems too much effort when the skies and clear and calling "image me! image me!"
