Plllleeeeeeaaaaaseee! Tell me more about the repositioning of the UV/IR filter.. I've been having this same problem with my QHY8 on bright stars, I mentioned in your last post that I figured that it was due to the cameras UV/IR filter...

Originally I thought it was my scope being a doublet rather than a higher quality triplet, then I saw an image posted on another site using a QHY8 with a FSQ106, then I realized it must be camera related...

Any more info about where you moved the filter would be greatly appreciated.. This flaring really irks me.. I get it in 10min subs of M42, 15min subs of eta car etc.. its REEEALY annoying.

Lovely image.. especially for 90 minutes data! the 127+QHY8 is proving to be a fantastic matching...
