The star shapes look OK, there are many causes of eggy stars, polar alignment, guiding, tilt, field rotation, collimation. If they can be repaired in post processing software then it is not really a disaster.

Thanks Bill! I'm pretty sure the star shapes were due to something related to the OTA. This was basically first light with the little AT65 and another image with it that weekend showed similar (but not quite so bad) issues but when I used a different OTA that weekend on the same mount I had no such problems.

Nicely composed image too, well done |
Thanks Andy. Some of the bright stars are showing blue halos (and not all of it is due to reflection nebulosity
) - it's possible because I was focusing on the autoguiding part so closely I forgot to turn up the dew heater and this may have affected the brighter parts of the Lagoon (plus I had some tilt as discussed with Bill above).
