Strange shaped stars or imagination?

Hey everyone,

Just curious is anyone thinks these stars are a bit oddly shaped.
It looks a little like coma I suppose, but only on the top part of the image from what I can see and I have never seen, or noticed, it before.

The scope has had no significant knocks or anything like that so I don't think that collimation could be an issue. Could it be something as simple as focuser slop or something similar?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated. Unfortunately I don't think I will be able to get the scope out again to the weekend to test.

Thanks

Equipment is FSQ106 and Canon 60D (Unmodded)
