One thing, do you use an IR / UV block filter? That can help reduce some star aberrations on most refractors without losing any important information.
Thanks Kevin, yeah hard to know what colour is right, this is an unmodded camera so I guess thats keeping the red back. Good idea about the IR/UV filter, I'll give it a go.
