What is causing my stars to look like this?

Hi guys.

After upgrading my focuser to a Moonlight Focuser my stars are coming out rather strangle. I also upgraded my camera at the same time so it could be the camera. I suspect it to be reflections in the draw tube but thats pure speculation, could it be pinched optics somewhere. My image train is as follows.
STF 3800m/WO Flattner reducer .86/Astonomik 2" CLS filter/ orion premium refractor 102 714mm F7.
I never had this issue when imaging with my 5D MKII and GSO focuser so it has to be the focuser or the camera.

Here is in image crop so you can see the star close up.

Thanks
