Trevor I would like to congratulate you on a fine first effort
.
Dont underestimate the effort one needs to go to for a decent focus
.
You can try a hartman mask but I found to get dialed in I would take up to 40 shots to get the focus as best possible... that reflects my inexperience no doubt but you gotta do what you gotta do.
Again you should be delighted with your first results and you will find Orion a wonderful subject as each time you have a go at it hopefully it will be a little more perfect than the last.... and never blame the gear as it lets you off the hook in the demands you must make of yourself for a great result.
