I’ll also be using an SCT so that extra glass will no doubt work against me.

It’s really fascinating at the moment, as I don’t remember seeing images like yours in previous years, so maybe it’s a factor of UV-sensitive cameras becoming a bit more common. Good times
Going to try with a ASI178MM next which is a lot more sensitive in UV. I also have to figure out if my barlow is opaque to UV. The FFC is a fluorite quadruplet.
