Thanks David, I will try autoimage again and report back.
Just to clarify, do you mean 10A is rather short for the solvent-solute barrier or non-bonded distance?

10 Ang is pretty short; 12-14 Ang would be some better, but that's mostly a
recommendation for future work, i.e. you probably don't need to re-do the
simulations you already have.

What you did sounds fine.

The protein drift should be just an imaging problem. See if running autoimage
followed visualization looks OK.
