The image shift (during focussing with the primary mirror) is very small, about 1/30 FOV of the telescope. If you locked the mirror, you haven't any shift, because of Zero Image-Shift Microfocuser.

Pison,
Thanks for your pictures. They looked so good I ordered the same ota myself and mounted it on my old Lx200Gps fork.
