Realistically though, it appears that there is far more than just potentially poor collimation at play.

I recollimated the bist (scope) and tried to shoot this area again before Moon comes up. Scope is open area so this time wind was giving me s...s. Light pollution is crazy.
Wonder .... I am ~400m of the ocean, ~50m above sea level it is like small peninsula. Looking at M30 this time of the year and early evening latituude 40deg. and bit. Scope is looking almost at the East - through air moving like in chimney because land temp ~10deg and Ocean surface (top 1m) temperature ~20. Never seen any shots with air movement like this so simply no experience there.
