A wonderful wide and colourful field. A lot of tight small stars there so not sure what the fat FWHM you are referring to is here.

The top right corner stars look a hair out of focus compared to the other 3 corners so a very small amount of tilt.

Also with these scopes, focus will shift despite carbon fibre once the mirror achieves the same temperature +/- .5C. So if you focus when you start and the mirror hasn't achieved equilibrium then you will need to refocus once it does. In my case that takes about an hour.

I also use temperature compensation in case focus shifts with temperature drops. That may not be so critical with a carbon fibre scope but the first is.

Greg.
