Using a tiny screen shouldn't affect your focus accuracy if you use the information on the screen - use FWHM or HFD values to focus rather than how the stars look on the screen..
Thanks Alex, I did better this time around:
1 - no external hard disk
2 - put more effort into improving the focus
3 - checked the download speed
4 - threw money at the problem (bought a motorised focuser, yet to arrive)

Heres the new and improved image. 2 hours Ha with 10 min subs, curves levels, greyscale, 30% darken blend with wavelet sharpen.
