Hi Mike,

Always great getting praise from you. Most appreciated.

I've taken your advice and have removed the 30-pound fishing wire and attached thin black cotton thread instead.

I was shooting the Al-nitak region last night and the difference is immense. I got very thin and crisp diffraction spikes which are a whole lot more aesthetically pleasing. I could pass off as owning an RCOS truss tube.

No worries with regards to posting Alan's stupendous work. I have fallen in love with his work since Louie showed me.

Regards,
Humayun

I also like diffraction spikes but I think they deffinitely over power the image in this case. Try plain black sewing cotton thread.

Just in case you are wondering, I did not post Alan's M45 to detract from your image. I hadn't even seen yours before I posted Alan's.
