Saturn/Titan Shadow Transit 4/13

Hi Steve,
That is one of the very best images of Saturn I've seen posted here of late. Well done!
I have a C11 (NextStar 11GPS-XLT) but I have yet to do any imaging with it.
One of the major problems I have is Mirror flop / image shift.
I wondered if you to had this issue, if so , what did you do to correct it?
Anyway, thanks for posting,
Cleardarkskies!
