Help determining what I have in the way of tilt.

I must have zoomed the pic in ASTAP and hid the results of the tool. Different sub from the same set, showing the results. I started looking at this because I thought I noticed deformity in the stars to the left side of the picture. This is a 300s sub. Should I use shorter durations and is mild tilt something to worry with?

Did you try  to analyse with NINA Hocus Focus plugin to verify the ASTAP measurement? (if not, you should ...)
I recommend this thread on CN:
https://www.cloudynights.com/topic/809050-tilt-discussion-astap/
It has all you need to know about tilt.
CS, John

P.S.: Yes, 300s is far too long. Try 30s or less with L filter.

Good read! I'll be ordering an adjuster and fine tuning mine. With NINA, I don't see a way to load a file other than to load an Auto Focus session. Anyway, I have a much better understanding of tilt thanks to the thread. Appreciate the guidance.
