NGC6744 from dark skies

I've tried this one before with a DSLR (not modded) ages ago and didn't think much of it. Did a much better job of it this time with the SXVF-H9. Around 3 and a half hours (22x10min) with Vixen R200SS. Very happy to pickup mag 17.5 galaxies in the top left hand corner


The R200SS is a bugger to try to collimate though. Anyone know of any decent software (that doesn't cost the earth) that can be used with the SX? I tried using Metaguide with DMK but when I swapped it out and put the SX in the collimation was out.
