I have debated whether to post this or not, so here it is, warts and all.
This is the first image from my shifted and rebuilt obs. It has been nearly four years since I collected any data and processed an image so it is not the best and I am surprised at how much I have forgotten.
I have identified a dark bloom issue with the camera and a blue halo effect on bright stars that may be filter related and possibly some poor registration due to dodgy capture techniques and not being aggressive enough culling my subs before calibration and stacking. Also some poor sharpening as the image was a bit soft due to guiding errors/poor polar alignment.
I'm also not keen on PI's handling of the core which I did experiment with, the layering technique in PS seems to do it better.
Anyway, here is my pig with lipstick!
