Fun with star diffraction spikes on a Refractor

Hi Folks,
Had some fun with Esprit100 last night. Went to Spotlight earlier and bought a Embroidery Hoop. They have lots of different sizes and one fitted perfectly over the Esprit dew cap. I stretched some wires across the hoop so see if I could get some nice star diffraction spikes to see if it added any aesthetic enhancements.
