This particular lens produces that “nice” shape of brighter stars with blades.
I have Astronomik CLS clip filter but I don’t use it.
In my opinion, and some users don’t share it, these filters irreversibly spoil the colour balance and also remove “something” from the data.
food for thought there ian........ i thought an LP filter would be an absolute necessity!
i very much like your result and i must give it a crack as i have the 60da and a 35mm samyang f1.4 and we are a similar distance from the cbd
