Thank you all for your kind comments. Regarding John's question:
I have spent a lot of time, and still do, polar aligning the telescope. I checked it frequently. I am getting to the point that the correction required is smaller that the effect caused by tightening the screws.....I am now slowly tightening the screws in parallel with two allen keys simultaneously hopping that the reference star does not move.
I also use off axis guiding with the camera (SX Lodestar) as close as possible to the main camera chip. I can do better in this regard but I need some adapters.
I hope this helps,
Thanks,
Enrique
