Well just from my own experience with similar stars using my scts I’ve made use of small spacer rings from 0.1-2mm. By adding and subtracting I got to a point where they stars were reasonable in 2 or 3 corners. Then I tried to tackle tilt to resolve the final corner, and then final tweak in backspacing if necessary.
It’s amazing how much of a difference 0.1mm can make!!
