First light and first tracking: Trifid Nebula

Finally got to imaging with my new setup Tracking was bad but I was learning how to use it all. Gonna give it another go tonight.

Heavily cropped due to coma... My local is out of f5 coma correctors so I have to wait for more to come in...

Thanks guys. anyone know what the things are around the large stars? There's like a halo of light around them with like inverted spikes in the halo... Is it just bad collimation?

Looks like star mask to me, like you have had the stars masked while darkening the background.

I know that something similar was caused on KAF-8300 sensors due to microlens' or something like that. With your DSLR, not sure.
