Not sure what I am doing wrong, I think it looks right but looking at OOF stars etc.. it just doesn't look right..
I'm hoping I can make it atleast for one night.
Andrew, check the centering of your secondary with a ruler, affects star at corners in an F4 easily. Then the cheshire.
no doubt the experts on site will sort it out.
