Looks like the image was taken in the "newtonian" mode, in which case I would say your image is suffering from coma. A coma corrector for newts is what you would need. Try imaging in the cassegrain mode and see if you still have the same problem.

Pretty good Dennis! Focus looks a little soft. Maybe a slight unsharp mask may help. A good flat feild image would take care of the gradient that runs from the upper right to lower left.
