Lewis,

If that is your example of blue bloat I think we are really talking about different things. I don't see exactly what you are talking about. As best I know you are probably looking at the blue halos around the blue stars. I think this is entirely normal as those blue stars are saturated and won't colour in the center - only the fringe will colour and certainly any saturated star is going to be larger.

Have you done your own images? Do you see blue stars with bloat? What blue filter and where does it cut? If you read my earlier thread on the problem you can see the issue I'm having. Is yours similar? On my images blue stars, even unsaturated, are out of focus looking. Adding a cut filter makes the stars come into focus much better, but only with the Trius camera. With my KAF8300 CCD I don't see enough of the issue to even care.
