Thanks once again to everyone who replied to my OP.  Following the
consensus suggestion, I checked my collimation, and it is terrible--
worse than any of the examples of poor collimation shown in the
"collimate SCT" websites.  Hopefully, I can fix it in the next few
days.

Bob,
I know that there are laser collimators for SCTs. Although my
experience with them is limited to newtonian telescopes, I believe
getting a <a href=”http://www.lasercollimator.net”;>laser collimator</

diagnosing focusing issues a much easier task. For example, if you
knew your scope was collimated, how much less frustrated would
diagnosing your current problem be?
