Elongated Stars?

Hi Guys,

First night testing the new scope with the DSI 2. Although the sky wasn't clear but i was able to shoot through the thin clouds. I've noticed the stars are elongated now?

I was thinking is it because:

1) Bad polar alignment
2) Bad collimation (using a laser)
3) Something got to do with the 2" focuser?

However at the start, I thought it might be tracking error but it seems the stars are staying dead centre on the screen. I have attached a live screenshot so you guys know what im talking about

thanks.
