Explain this please!

Here are two images.
At first I thought the artefact beside Alnitak was caused by a rain drop on the primary.

If that was the case, when I slewed the target, the artefact would have stayed in the same place.
However, it has moved with the star!

Internal reflection caused by the brightness of Alnitak.

This^

See how it shifted closer to Alnitak in the second image when Alnitak was moved closer to the centre of the image.

How disappointing.

I spent half an hour cleaning the lens :-)

Not to mention it not being a new star appearing out of thin air...

Can I get rid of it?

Whenever I Image the Horsehead I always frame it so Alnitak is out of the shot, it causes too many issues.

Offsetting the fov, dithering and a meridian flip.

:rofl :

hahah love it.

could definitely have a reflection-off competition... we've all been there at some stage - trying to deal with pesky Alnitak.

but yes - some aggressive dithering or even a combo of dithering and alternate framing merged via intersection method.

If you spend a little time in PS you can get rid of it. Zipped the file for you. You can do a better job but you get the idea.
