Looks like it could do with a trip to Es.

Thanks all it does look like pinched optics would it be the element at the front of the scope that needs slightly lossening off or at the focusser end

Is looks like it could be, but if you have had this scope from new I would go back to the retailer and get it fixed.  even if it is beyond your guarantee period if you can show it was like it from the beginning.
