Thanks Jeff for the confirmation.
Yep my laser collimator is not perfect was planning on fixing collimation tonight but clouds set in before I had a chance to do anything.
Ehhhh the Sydney weather has been so bad lately I was desperate to get out tonight.

The 3 notches you see are the shadows of the mirror clips and nothing to be concerned about. The optics do not seem to be pinched, usually shows as a triangular out of focus star test image. Google pinched optics and check the images of the different aberrations presented as examples.
Your collimation is slightly out as the secondary shadow is slightly off centre, a bit of fine tuning will sort that out.
