I drift aligned for quite a while on both axis before recording that. PHD was recording my polar alignment as being within 1 arcminute, so even though I don't particularly trust it, I doubt it's way off.

I spent about an hour tonight trying to get the stars a more normal shape, but haven't been able to; this was as close to round as I could get it. I'm using the Orion Deluxe OAG with a QHY5L-II, which don't really play well together because if your camera has a 1.25" you have to stick the camera into the OAG, hold it perfectly straight and then tighten a tiny screw with an allen key to lock it all up. PITA.
