Does this little starburst effect on brighter stars appear the same on FLI, QSI and SBIG 8300 cameras? Or are some cameras better than others in minimizing this effect? Is there a simple way to process this out? Thanks! Rick

I doubt the brand would affect that.
The only thing that may is the FLI and Apogee models offer a no cover slip on the CCD option which reduces minor halos on brighter stars.
