Thanks Peter and Trev. Trev, the lens is a Pentax-F zoom f/3.5-4.5, 35-135mm. It is a 35mm film lens so with the sensor being smaller than 35mm full frame, the lens is performing as a 53-203mm. You'll see that the stars are certainly not round. In other shots there was gross coma in places. I have a Samyang f/2.8 14mm on order - I'm looking forward to some lovely widefields which is my main objective. Not sure about telephoto. I'll try my various lenses and see how they perform.
Cheers all. I'll be back on the plane next Monday heading back north of the equator to the heat, humidity, dust and light pollution of Israel.
