Hi Raymo,

The stars do look like little worms. I went back and looked at the raw image and they look OK (see attached - full zoom). Not quite perfect but fairly round.

It might have been a processing artifact If so I'll have to keep an eye out for that in the future. There was also the slightest breeze that night. So hard to get a still night these days.

Cheers, Evan
