Hi Trevor,

The reflection is almost certainly an internal lens reflection, not from the polarising filter. Try different lens/camera orientations wrt Rigel to minimise it.

I suspect that you got nothing from the reflection nebula because of the polarising filter. They are good at removing reflections from terrestrial objects, so probably do so for non-terrestrial objects as well.

Cheers
Stuart
