- GSO RC 14in
- PegasusAstro Prodigy with M68-M54 adaper
- QHY600
-QHYCFW3L
- QHYQAG-L

But when I measure everything exactly per spec, here is the resulting CCDInspector says:



and the resulting stack of 300 x 8 is, here is the XISK file: https://u.pcloud.link/publink/show?code=XZEMNS5ZbRrvuB0MPQVnftEyHlEH1mN9vbYy

It seems to me your collimation is not good. The stars in the differents corners seems to be defocalised and deformed. I think you have coma indicating your primary miror is not correctly set.

I did the tilt tools with Astap and look 



and the abberation inspector shows your star not good in the corners


Maybe you should fine tune the collimation of the primary 1st.
