Help with star test images please

Hi,

The new big fan sucking air from the surface of an icepack onto the back of the mirror, got my temps within 1.5 degree, so I thought I would get some collimation pics.

I have defocussed outwards and inwards on Alnitak mag 1.71. I have stacked say 80 to 100 frames.

I would love some opinions on these images. I have my own thoughts on adjustments, but would appreciate your input as well.

First image is the defocussing inwards and the second is the defocussing outwards.

Magnification is 208x
