I am guessing less distance from the center = less elongation than in the corners?
Yes, that's a given. But I'm more curious about how the distortion depends on distance from centre of the image. You probably find a central region that is virtually free from aberration.

From the image you've posted, the star elongation looks like something that could be tamed in processing. I don't know what off-the-shelf software that could do that, but I've seen a lot worse aberrations in consumer DSLR lenses that the manufacturer's software is able correct.
