SXV-H9
152EDF refractor (1140mm FL and 1"/pix!)

Yes believe it or not, this is a 10min UNguided shot of NGC1365!

Polar alignment was via the NJP polar finder and there is no periodic error
correction(PEC). This is just the standard sidereal tracking via the FS2
stepper motor mount controller!

This is the raw data with just DDP applied only, no darks, no flats
or any other processing - hence the dust donnuts :-)

Seeing was only average

This is exceptional raw tracking and polar alignment from a polar scope!
