I realize it's only shaking down stage with the setup but you seem to have a bit of elongation of the stars near the edges. Maybe stop down the lens bit more but overall I'm sure you're happy with the detail the lens has picked up.

Thanks Keith. I manually open the lens aperture (with a bit of plastic jammed in the back of the lens). At the moment it's fully opened and I think I might try to close it down a bit next session. Originally I had it closed and I couldn't understand why I didn't get anything after 15min subs with no filters. I had no coma back then though but I had given up doing widefield.

Thanks Mark. Yeah it's pretty neat on axis which is what gives me hope that I can tame the field.
