The exposure time was much to short because the day light interrupted this try of the Schuler Filter. The accuracy of the Schuler seems to be very good, we saw no astigmatism or other errors like we experienced with other H-Alpha filters.

The image was not off-set guided. The accuracy of the mount is better than 0.2 arc seconds RMS in 5 minutes.
