I wish you well with this scope Bert, but am I missing seeing the Emperor's clothes here?

Delightfully fast optics for sure, but closer inspection easily reveals stars elongated North/South (see attached)

The colour saturation is extreme.... and quite odd ( eg: the apricot coloured core ) hence I am very surprised that they would use that particular image as an example of their optics.

One would hope a guiding error rather than an optical one is causing the eggy stars.
