That's a very pleasing result there, very nicely processed, I like the way you can easily make out the 4 trap stars.

Having the pole so far off what your compass telling you must have been a real pain, but this is why drift alignment is so important! Maybe theres some metal in the earth under your suburb or something, or maybe something closer by that is interfering? Either way you will have a better starting position for next time you drift which will save you ALOT of time.
