Yes, but I started soon after sunset so there was still a bit of sky glow, sorry :-)

Also there was a bit of wind from time to time so this could also contributed to stars diameter, along with focus.. which was different between C and M.

As to sweet spot.. Celestron FR didn't show much difference between 85 and 115 mm back focus (comparison attached below).. I was considering buying the adjustable focuser, but decided to try with fixed tubes first.

I will do some more work on the next opportunity, this time I had to stop because of clouds rolled in (when I closed the ROR they went away).
