Alcyone and freinds

Still a little bit of an issue with not quite round stars, this is a stack of 4 200 second exposures. lousy seeing and more an attempt to improve guiding and tracking. the drift is both axis and consistant across all images, Ive drifted this scope to the best of my ability, but Im still getting this slight drift at full FL. I can tolerate it if I have too, but if anyone can suggest something I have not maybe thought of it would be appreciated..Also does anyone have any info on the stars that are not Alcyone and its three buddies in terms of magnitude. Im just after a frame of reference...

Thankyou all

Shawn
