Hi all, I'm kinda freaking out a bit because something strange happened during an observing session last night with the TAK. I was out on Sunday night with no dramas. Went out last night and every star when in focus appears like a pinpoint, followed by a huge teardrop shape.

I didn't think of getting image of it at the time, but I'll try next chance I get. I don't know what it could be, I haven't bumped the scope at all or anything. It goes from its box to the mount and then back again.

I don't want to start adjusting its collimation or anything I'm not familiar with.

In the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions?
