Learned it from a pro . Definitely better than any camera lens images I have seen too.

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.
The red cast-offs did attract my attention immediately.

I take it this isn't motor-focused as yet? A simple cogged belt drive on the helical would be easy enough to fabri-cobble.
