Hi Steve

When I am way outside or inside focus, I obtain images very similar to the 2 you have posted. To limit the diffraction rings to just a few around the central maximum, I need to use relatively high magnification and then turn the focuser slightly, by small amounts, inside and outside of focus.

Cheers
