out of focus concentric diffraction circles

Doing a star test on my dob, and the shape of the out of focus circle looks good everything concentric, the only thing is I can't make out each individual concentric circle, its as if they are all blurred together.

With my tiny cheap refractor the concentric circles are quite clear, but I cant make out each individual one in my 8 inch dob.

Possibly they are so close together they are all blending together.

Is there something wrong with the dob?

Hope I'm making sense.

Mike.
