Ah yep... perhaps worthwhile reviewing each frame once more to try to find and weed out any with star trails and re-stack? I've had plenty of bad images still achieve decent-ish scores in DSS once registered.
As for the stretched stars one side vs another, I have no experience there whatsoever sorry!
There is a big, excellent, recent thread here on aligning the HEQ5pro and similar mounts. It helped me and I think many others to sort out alignment gremlins... taking the time to really nail that down will pay dividends, no doubt! At your focal length there you should be able to knock out some pretty long exposures unguided.
You're close, mate.. its going to be great!
