Just looking at this on the pc at full res.

Sheila have you knocked the extender / camera.

Your normally perfectly round stars have gone oval but only in the bottom left and top right corners.

Wonder if it is slightly out of alignment.

Of coarse it could be my eyes ?

will take a look Graham, all the subs in maxim had roundness values below 0.08, but the extender is a push fit so its

possible.  But no good me looking at it with my eyes as they are probably worse than yours ?

 

I cant see it myself,  but if anyone else could take a look it would be good ☺️  Maybe Ibbo?  if he dont see this i will ask him

 

thanks

I think you may have some focus slippage / temp change as i think i can see some star dougnuts.

Giv all you subs a good looking over, zoom in using maxim.

Sorry for the doubts cast and ignore my last.

I looked at this on another pc and it was perfect.

Ran a diagnostic on my monitor when I got home and it needed a serious resetting of the Gamma level.

That done your image is now back to round stars across the board.
