actually, it was pretty good - particularly as I was reasonably lazy when setting up as I don't have the FW yet. In the past I've used Alignmaster but the stars it defaults to are almost always bhehind the house, behind a tree etc.
I use EQMOD with Starry Night and a few markings on the back deck to set up the tripod. I aligned on Canopus, Avior, Alderbaran and Betelgeuse - with these the Tarantula landed almost exactly within the centre of the CCD frame when I started. It surprised me actually.
I might have another look at the shots I took in Orion the other night to see whether I had the same issue.
