I am also very keen to see what can be achieved now Jase.

I don't know what is causing the scattering. Perhaps something in the final polish of the mirror or maybe some reflection. The stars look similar to other images so I don't think it is caused from the AO. The stars have a slightly off centre look to them too and that might just well be a bit of miscollimation showing through. A tweak might be needed there. CCD inspector is reporting 1.2" of miscollimation. I'll chase that up in the coming weeks if this low does not blow us away first.
