Now that it's spot on I can say a Strehl of 97% is quite something to behold, and I was quite surprised at just how much difference that tweak made at really high powers on close multiple stars and planets.
Something else also stood out looking at the moons of Jupiter and Saturn - even in poor to average seeing its quite easy to identify those that are moons and not stars. Jupiters moons are resolved nicely... Saturns are harder.

Next time we meet. Can you bring what ever tools you used? I'd like your help collimating my Mak. After opening it up multiple times for flocking the collimation is slightly out. At least according to star tests.
