Well many 30 second captures, no guiding, 8 inch zwo cooled, RGB & Ha and because of the many disgards I really don't know what made up this image.
I used startools photoshop and gimp and had to crop more than half ..this was all I could rescue..but at least I got something...

Nice rescue Alex. What happened to the rest of it ? It can't be all bad if the same data included this.

Notice to circle of doom.I will try and fix it when I get bored with the burn tool in photo shop but much later.

Hi Logan hope you are well.
At Tabby (dark) and still sorting stuff.
Took down the 8 inch and going with the 80mm right now on Orion.
Managed to remember how it went together but have ot been able to check measurements ...sensor to Field flatner but I am going with it...spent two hours setting up in the dark as its so hot during the day you could die out there..
And I noticed a cloud coming when I just came in now.
My current method is capture everything in each filter and stack everything all at once☺
Anyways I am having fun but the pain mate is enough to make me cry...so your message get it all done before you get old☺
Thanks for your encouragement.

Not sure what the problem is..its not centered so I am thinking tilt...so on the bright side at least I know something needs fixing which may have gone unnoticed except for the nice bright star.
All good...

Hi Alex, It’s internal reflection off the filter and/or sensor glass. I think you have the ASI1600? Which does not have an anti reflective glass. Alnitak is notorious for highlighting reflections.

Thanks Ken.
What worried me is its not well centered.

In the uncropped shot you can see that moving object Marc caught the other night in the Flame Nebula...at least I think its the same one...big change to only having one star trailing badly☺
