This is what a cable snag looks like...

This is a single ten-minute sub with my QHY268M.  On the face of it, it looks OK but zoom in and you see the stars are egg shaped with the same orientation across the entire field.  It turns out that one of the cables to the DEC park sensor on the mount was snagging and pulling against the mount.  Bad cable management has been but one aspect of the comedy of errors I have committed in setting up this new camera 😟
