all the stars have the fainter spike vertical, but this one is horizontal.
were the diffraction spikes added on?
brilliant result nevertheless.
That's a small side-on galaxy just above the star. He's resolved a galaxy a few arc seconds from a bright star. That's how good this shot is (and his optics). The faint vertical line I'd suspect are from the NABG ST-10. The other 4 are from the spider vanes.
