Graheme..I have to say this looks odd. Have you adjusted the collimation at all? (I'm wondering whether the secondary is being stressed somehow...fix: loosen all three adjustment screws and gently re-collimate)

I'd also play with the focus. RC's have curved focal planes...often mistaken for coma. I always use stars about 2/3rd's out from the center.
