Also, a ring holding the field corrector's lens in place was for some reason not tightly threaded in and the lens was moving a bit inside the corrector. I suspect this could have been the main gremlin. So hopefully, the next astro image from Prossy will have beautiful pinpoint stars across the entire image.
If all isn’t well and you cannot get it working, just send it down to me for a while and I’ll make sure I give it a good few months testing
