Thanks Mike. RE the stars. Yes they are a nuisance. At this stage I can't find the cause. I've recollimated several times, adjusted the spider, I just can't find it. It possibly could still be a collimation issue. I find the f4 scopes are fiddly to get perfect. I wish I got the F5 version now. And my collimation tools are a bit primitive. But it only seems to be the brighter stars. Perhaps it is vibration from mirror slap? The 1100D has no mirror lock up feature. Until I find it, it's eggs for tea every night. Just don't look as close.
