If you point to a Star and defocus on live view , is the Star a perfect round donut ??
Also Ive read some processing software like PI can cause stars to be slightly diamond shaped too in one of the tools ??

100% sure it’s not a pinched mirror as the mirror cell I modified leaves my mirror practically floating. As I said before, it’s not in my subs so it’s definitely an artifact that I’m introducing in processing. I’m going to have to go though and work out where I’m doing it. I’ll try a repro over Christmas and I’ll really watch out for it.
