Collimation test with thanks

Thanks Fellas! I really appreciate your assistance and will give it ago when I can next see stars!
Have a peep at these two pics and add your comments. This is the only way I'll ever learn. I waited two whole months to get two clear evenings, but its worth the wait. I've learnt to refocus after every two captures, as each attempt is only a guess and this way one gets the odd one close. I'm able to hold the image reasonably stationary with regard to the EQ platform, but far from stationary regards to the atmosphere, which I'm sure you also experience the difficulty to get that perfect sharp point. Like one of you wrote, when played back on Windows Meadia Player you get some idea of success if you can see a few sharp images within the total.
