Cheers H! I should explain that I used data from early 2014 before I had refined my collimation - hence a bit of elongation. Anyway, I've now lessened this a bit so it's not as obvious (I hope).

Thanks a lot Mike! Glad you think it's a good one! As mentioned above, my 2014 data was before collimation teaks but I've now lessened the elongation a bit so it's less obvious (top right and right side and bottom left and left side. Any remaining elongation is not fixable without using star rounding (which I don't do!) or taking a lot of time fixing each star!! Now, you and H need to put your magnifying glasses away!
