Sorry to be the harbinger of bad news, while the camera looks to be doing OK
I'd have serious doubts about the optics.
Soft stellar profiles, halos around brighter stars and edge coma is not painting an excellent example of this very well known object.
I'd be pondering whether the focus was a smidge off, or if not, was the seeing poor on the night?
Failing which, could it be spherical aberration causing the halos? (star testing the optics is quite easy..worth a Google if you are unfamiliar with how to do this)
Not guiding likely added to the broad stellar footprints
That said, Eta is an excellent standard candle to test new gear. Hope you can get it all looking tight with some tinkering.
