I was concerned that these artefacts would impact on my ability to image this faint detail - so far that doesn't seem to be the case.
Those patterns show up in single frames so it doesn’t make any difference with the total integration. Confirmation bias

As for solar, I don’t imagine it’ll matter because you’re not dealing with a point light source
