Just had to sign in and say this is a beauty! Nice work man, really.
So far as those oblong stars go, that looks more like focuser sag/pinching to me, as opposed to collimation.

Oh and thanks Fred! It is a Hubble palette narrowband image.

Mark, Collimation issues on a lot of the first frames. I redid this with some corrections and it turned out much nicer. But yeah that was a problem I had to correct.

Looking pretty nice Dave.
Was wondering though why stars look elongated on the left side of the image as well as double diff spikes on bright stars, while the right side stars look pinpoint?
