Tear drops..

....and there almost coming from my eyes Below are some images of my dilemma, I have tried to figure this one out with no such luck yet.

Its not the following, im sure of it

-collimation is good, that's spot on
-added extra screws to the focuser body to try adjust tubes....no change
-coma because of the shape of the star.
-tracking/backlash

Here is two images of M8 as you can see the stars in both 1sec and 40 sec x 5 are consistent so its there from the word go. Its only really just above the center

Big question will a coma corrector fix this kind of shape star?

Cheers,
Dan
