Allan, this is a micro lensing issue on the KAF8300. I have heard this from several sources and have to come to accept it. It is on the base images, but is enhanced by processing.

Hehehe, I don't have any dramas with them. I was brought up with diffraction spikes so it all looks normal to me. I am looking at another wide field set up down the track, but I don't think I will go with a fast Newt. However, never say never.
