Thanks for your thoughts Rick & Tim.

I should have mentioned that I'm using a .8 flattener/reducer here as well,

Here's another starfield I shot same night that may be more useful, it's
60secs LUM only.

Rick I don't have a Bhatinov mask - but I'll be ordering a laser etched one soon.

Tim, I'll try your suggestion with a defocused star field with a bright central star tonight (if it's clear at the star party at Snake Valley!) - I have the 2.5 inch focuser and the tilt ring.
I'm reluctant to fiddle with the focuser as it's meant to be collimated at the factory?

What's the primary baffle tape-fix to stop the primary mirror moving please?
