Hi Cody

The diffraction spikes look fine, like they should. Don't start getting OCD about every little perceived flaw. If your spider vanes were slightly not at 90 deg. to each other then you would get a twin spikes , might not look the prettiest in images but your scope wont self destruct and it will only be on bright stars. Also, I don't see any dark areas around the spikes so can't help you there.
In what way do you think that the diffraction spikes are misaligned and the focuser drawtube intruding into the tube by 10 or 20mm is not going to have any noticeable effects with visual observing or photography, that I'm aware of.
