The same equipment, ZWO APO 30 F/5 guide on a manual mount. SV705C camera. Gain reduced to 300, exposure 1 sec. Noticeable strong field rotation effect.

The nebula came out better, but the stars didn't turn out. Some kind of smearing.

Another test photo with the guider as a telescope, with manual guiding. With the 705 camera, the field of view is much larger than with the 662, so I shot with…
