Hi Buill
Sounds like what you are seeing (when looking at a star) is the "defocussed" view.
Stars are so far away that all you will get even under magnification, is a tiny pinpoint of light, when focussed properly. So turn your focus wheel until the image shrinks down to a small sharp point of light, and the image of the secondary mirror will not be a problem.
