This is a quick attempt through a 200mm, as you can see not polar aligned and some flaring but it shows that stars tend to bloat even with high end lenses.

I'll see what the minus v filter achieves and let you know but I suspect it will help a lot in your scope too David.

Oh he says this is just a quick shot quick be bu99ered. its an excellent short shot
