What's going on with the green stars and green at 8 o'clock on some of the brighter stars?
Lovely image!

Thanks, Josh.
The green smudge toward 8 o'clock on the bright stars is a complete mystery.
We saw it in our second-most-recent galaxy shot also.
Perhaps it's time to check the filters for spider eggs, check the rim of the main mirror or the corrector lens for wasps nests. This is all to be done three metres up a wobbly ladder, and getting at the filters involves rather a lot of tight and awkward bolts, and the risk of introducing dust, so we'd be thrilled if anyone could point us in the right direction.

Thanks Mike. We shall consider ourselves warned that we're pushing the envelope.
