What is the maximum rotation SC can align?

Hi
I'm fairly new to SC, but its been working remarkably well for me in the past few months. I have been using my 14" GOTO Dobson with an ASI224MC to image M82 using various filters.
Last night, the the maximum rotation I was able to get alignment for was about 30 degrees - see attached JPEGS of first and last aligned image (originals were 1.3MB TIFFS).
The aligning stars were still clearly visible, so just wondering if SC reached its max for rotation alignment at 30 degrees, or were there perhaps other image quality issues at play?
FYI These M82 images were taken with a ZWO IR pass850 nm. For the final image go to: https://astrob.in/g4eb2q/0/
For M82 images taken with IR cut:https://astrob.in/db2trc/0/ and no filter https://astrob.in/knxypc/0/
Thanks for your help!
