Thanks Mark. My skies were forecast to be perfect for imaging with clear and transparent skies, but, central Florida did not agree. The skies were clear but the transparency turned out to be poor. The success in this image was I am now able to guide the AT8RC without (or very little) flexure. I have the focuser on the guider, and the guide camera itself, cinched down with rings. So far, so good!
