Vega is captured again last night right on the meridian. Image 007 settings were ISO 800, f2, 2 seconds, infinite focus. Vega shows as a 15 minute of arc blurred disc. Not the best exposure results for measuring star to star distances. Even so a measurement between Vega and HIP 91235 came in at 5* 19.8' which is within 1 minute of arc vs. true distance.
A daylight image is also attached for a better look at the main mast, furler, and rigging.

Frank,
Tonight I shall try again using the built in shutter timer to avoid manual operation of the shutter. Vega should then be a symmetrical disc. ISO jumped to 800 and shutter reduced to 1 second should produce a sharper image without ghosts.
