Meh101-First Galaxy Attempt

The 'shuttlecock' stars do indicate that the lens is out of collimation, quite badly so I'd say.

Well it's been a pleasure trying to get something more out of it, look forward to the results of something with 60s or higher exposures.

Thanks again for your time and effort, will probably try another wider lens (See Olly's post) on something else. Get to a darker site and go for a bit of Milky Way maybe.

Yup, looks like its a no go for stars with this lens. Its the 100-400mm F4.5/5.6 L Mk1 so showing its age, still ok for normal stuff though.

Probably not worth getting fixed, the value isn't that great secondhand.
