Thanks Greg,
It was many, I took about 10 and they all look similar.

Actually I've just gone through them and it does look like there is some quite noticeable tracking errors on most of them but they all have roughly triangle shaped stars.

When I was doing 1 second focus exposures the stars looked perfectly round... maybe it is just bad guiding...?
