Thanks for the comments. Perhaps as you say the OAG is part of the problem amplified by the less than ideal reducer distance. When I look at an earlier dslr shot without the OAG the distortion is quite controlled.

Try loosening the screws, rotating the fittings a little at both ends (You can put them back where they are again, just as long as you move them) and see if the tilt changes direction or magnitude.


My TOAG is on the list for replacement, probably with the QHY one as it is all bolted together parts with screw fittings to adapt to whatever is either side.
