Either the mirror is over-tightened, or there's an issue with collimation. It also looks like it was shot from the edge of the frame and cropped. And the exposure data can be added to the technical information.

I only noticed after publishing that I could add the exposure data to the technical information.
The collimation seemed fine, which can't be said for the record-breaking guiding (0.21-0.36" up to 0.5") and the not-so-great final result with trailed stars. It seems someone somewhere deceived someone.
