So two more data points for what it is worth, I can bring the ghost images into focus so I measured the distance that the focuser needed to move...
The scope is an f/8 scope - I believe it to be well collimated, stars are round, checked with a Cheshire and a Howie Glatter laser collimator -...

There are no other optics (focal reducer) of any type in the path - the setup is the standard SBIG configuration with the FW8 plate attached...
All, I'm not sure exactly where to post this thread but since it concerns an STF-8300M with a FW8 and an OAG but this seems as good a place as...
no driver needed, also works plugged into USB 2.o or 3.0 on the computer side - I spent a lot of time trying to get the Raspberry Pi thing to work...
