l tried a quick test image with the new scope and this came out. it's a crop from one of my pics and l'm guessing a problem related to the primary ( tension maybe? )but any help would be appreciated. thanks.

Guessing, this looks like a drive problem. You can see 4 distinct stars and then the rest is blurred between them. That is my guess.

The cat tugging on a cable??? PEC or guiding error ?
It doesnt look like the scopes fault try more shots and see if the error is consistant.
