Not a jibe, just a genuine observation I am seeing in a LOT of Redcat images.
Nah, while I appreciate the frank and fearless feedback, looks way sharper to me than any standard camera lenses I've used to date....including some $7-10k Canon L-glass.

That said, not a show stopper image for sure....this rig needs a dark site and at least five minute subs to pull in the faint stuff.

There is an interesting blocking filter (?) reflection that is indeed red, that the camera itself I suspect generates. Attached is a 200% enlarged crop of said red doughnut near one of the brighter stars. While I don't find it objectionable, I'm not totally sure of its cause.
