Stars in the eyepiece

[Mart29]

Honestly,  hardly ever look at stars only planets and clusters rather than individuals.  

So my question is do these images below look how stars individual stars should look . 

Used my phone so obviously the image isn't as sharp as the eyepiece,  but as a general guide is this the correct form of the star.

Look pretty good to me! Is there something specific you’re worried/curious about?

Thanks , nope just looking for reassurance that they look how they are supposed to and I didn't collimate out for stars etc 

Doing planets I know when I'm out or something is wrong but stars not so much.

I like the images so will start to go after individual stars now .

Oh good, all perfect then. Tiny note is that if you zoom on the first two images you have double diffraction spikes as you’re very slightly out of focus. Something to look out for!

Little side note, when I’ve imaged individual stars I’ve experimented with taping very thin paper strips over my scope to get different diffraction spikes. Fun thing to change things up, and stunning with your own eye! 🙂

Amazing tip, will definitely be using that this week! Love the look! Thank you. Currently,  waiting inside for Jupiter to rise alittle more, scope all set up an hour ago.
