There looks to be some guide error and/or flaring going on though  so the resolution could have been even better  ..is that collimation or tracking or a bit of both?

Thanks Mike.
Bit of both probably. Guiding was definitely sub standard. It could be sharper. Collimation, possibly not there 100%. Camera tilt very possible as well. Will use longer tube in focuser next time. I used a 13mm spacer instead of the usual 35mm extension in front of the OAG so that would have done it. When it's this sharp, everything adds up and it sticks out. I'm still on training wheels.
