I think the fat diffraction spikes are something I have overlooked, but note that other renditions don't seem to have this problem. Short subs perhaps?

Did you know that they were there, or were they a serendipitous discovery?

A fantastic result.

Best,

MnT I had seen an image by Don Goldman that had the nebulosity showing and I wondered if I would see those in my field of view. To my surprise I found them there on the first imaging run. So a pleasant confirmation I think.
