Andrew,

looking at the images it would appear that the scope is a long way out of collimation, not properly cooled and the seeing isn't very good.

Firstly, collimate the scope properly, both your primary and your secondary are out. Nor is your secondary properly positioned relative to the focuser. Get this right first.

Let your scope cool for a good 3 hours before you attempt to star test it.

At this point you will at least know if the seeing is good enough to continue.
