Looks great except the focus but how come when you say

Focusing via a Plane Wave algorithm using multiple stars (typically 50 or so) from the main image field.
Your guiding looks ok as the stars are round unless:
(1) your star centroid algorithm was off? - guide star too big or too small.
(2) some other software setting not matching the dynamics of the mount.
(3) maybe the seeing was no good?
(4) target low in angle?

Still it's an impressive start for a mighty expensive dream telescope.
I look forward to seeing many more pics.
Thanks for sharing.
