M8 Ha SXVR-H16: 2nd light

Hi all,
had a chance to further test corrector spacing, adjust cameras face plate.
Had a bent compression ring in the draw tube that was giving me grief.
Still not 100% happy with the stars.. even at short exposure they weren't completely round. Needs further investigation.

Very impressed with this camera and result, even though it was only 56' worth of 4' subs during a cloud hole that remarkably happened for a short time.
Details:
!0" F4 Newtonian
SXVR-H16 camera
Astronomics 13nM Ha filter.
1.502 arcsec/pix
No darks or anything else.. need to flat field or use 50mm filters.
Excuse me for not cropping the bottom of the image, just a test shot really.

Thanks for taking a look.
