One thing that helped me was to run an aberration inspector through NINA’s plugin Hocus Focus. It will make a back focus recommendation and tell you what tilt corrections to make.
Hi Stephane

Yes these things are important too but you should first sought out this other issue first without any correctors in place and once stars look good.

Then with coma corrector in re collimate with good spacing.
