I would have thought bloated stars were due to a number of possible factors including optics, guiding, collimation , seeing conditions , processing , mount stability and sampling size, and could be a complex mix of all of these things. Would a Kodak KAF 8300 chip be better choice to get sharper stars due to small pixels and large numbers of them .
