Thanks for the support guys. I'm trying to make the most of every chance I get atm with the way the weather is and these little things irk

Theses are the stars that I was talking about. Funny thing is the "coma" is the opposite direction to normal. This crop is from about halfway out from 104 towards the top left hand corner. You will also notice a bright star in the lower left of the original that is quite out of shape. I think the FR is overcorrecting the normal curvature of the ED lens.

I think that is NGC121 Spearo. Its in the right orientation for when the image was taken and matches up with postiton of some of the stars.

What I would like to know is if anyone can identify the circled object in the second image here.
