I have AP 1600GTO with PEM training running around +/- 0.74. I have a 14” Edge HD @f11 and imaging with STXL 11K and guiding with its SXTL filter wheel/guider. I use Maxim DL with 8/8 X/Y aggressiveness. Guide calibration is 4 sec and 4 sec for guide exposure. My guiding is +/- .5 arcsec when watching the guiding trace. My imaging with narrowband is typically 20min in duration. Early on I noticed my STXL fan was creating vibration and causing oblong stars. I now run with fan off, but it does go on when it reaches a critical point. You may want to try running with fan off too.
I’m enclosing a sample of what I’m getting with this setup.
