That’s not microlensing on the 1600. It’s much more obvious than that...it’s a square grid pattern. If you point it at Alnitak or another similarly bright star it’ll become very obvious after you’ve integrated a few subs.

I also have an Esprit 100 and 1600 and the only image I’ve felt the microlensing effect has ruined an image is around the Horsehead nebula, with above mentioned Star featuring heavily :LOL:

You’re most likely seeing something actually causing diffraction, like the leaf of a tree or something else funky.
