I've been customising my Sky-Watcher Travel Scope 70 and it looks epic. I also gave the lenses a good clean.
However, after I cleaned the lenses and went out one night to test the scope, the stars were a horrible egg shape. Then, I realised that when I took the lens cell out of the tube to clean the lenses, it actually made everything misaligned.
Therefore, I had to realign the lenses properly. After that, I went out again and the stars were sharp and pinpoint.
But I noticed a strange, hazy halo around them. It wasn't out of focus, chromatic aberration, fog, dew or cloud causing this. I am not sure what the heck this is, but it is very frustrating and this has been lasting for weeks.

Does anyone know how to fix this issue?
Thanks.
