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
