Rained out last night, but o.k. tonight. Managed to bodgie up a shield to keep out stray light. Vast improvement.
Using 10mm plossl, I'm still seeing diffraction spikes on Venus, but nowhere to the same extent. Same colours, blue & yellow.
The Moon, no diffraction spikes, but some aberrations around the illuminated area, best guess is scope needs more collimating. (haven't done star test yet, as no bright stars visible to the naked eye in the west, and currently sans finder).
