Thank you for this.

I have upgraded to Sierra and find it works pretty much the same as before
ie. I always get the shrinkage to bottom left - UNLESS I'm connected to a
projector.

If I'm connected to a projector then it opens fine.

I've just learned to live with it ie. if I need to work on Stellarium, I
simply connect to a spare projector at home.
