My first light a disapointment

Last night with a crystal clear night I took my new 8" reflector outside for first light. Well the collimation was so bad the stars looked like the uniform badges in Star Trek.

I discovered the main mirror was way off and levelled it via the adjustment screws by eye & played around with the prism a bit too. I have managed to improve the image by about 80% but still can't nail that last 20%

Any ideas guys? or is someone with more experience in the area of Marnoo able to help.
