The only egginess that I can see is the four diffraction spikes on each of the brighter stars, which are normal for a Newtonian scope. They are caused by
the spider that supports the secondary mirror. On really bright stars they are huge, like this old pic of mine of I.C. 2602 taken with my 8" Newt.
