I believe this is a wobble due to oscillation of the motor drive of the
telescope

That assumed he had a motor drive...Funny that the alleged "oscillations"
are coincidentally not apparent at the beginning nor end of the train. But to
be fair, the stars exhibit elongation (trails) and a tangent line on the down
swing of the corkscrews which are of the same amplitude of the star
elongation, is also in coincidentally the same direction. Separately, I believe that
the jury in general on corkscrewing is still deliberating...
Saludos, Doug
