Hi Kanga, I was thinking about star trails, so any frames where your star is a short line rather than a dot. This happens, even when well aligned. I think this might be what is happening with the longer spikes on the stars (though it may not be), and yes, I can see there are uniform, smaller spikes around the starts too, which may be the F-stop issue (again, which i have no experience with).
