I am pretty sure it is not the focuser or anything forward of the filter wheel. Though it could be the flattener. An out of focus shot before I go up should tell the story.

Doing this whole region might be a mission. Though Jarrod Koh has recently done a super wide field image with very similar results.

Thanks Paul.



Thanks Paul for your reply.
I was going to say - the filter wheel but then I saw that it was a color camera -ZWO 2600MC -
so I thought you had no filters.
It must be something cutting off the light to the sensor.
Sensor size is 23.5 x17.5mm so I assume you are using 2" filters?

Jarrod Koh has done some great work:
