Why do the stars have double spikes by the way?

Comon give us y're best mate

LRGB was from an earlier BRC image. The double diffraction spikes (which I don't mind - patent pending hehe) never appeared again in other images. Some said it was out of collimation but I checked that later on with a Tak collimation scope and it was spot on. Only thing I can think of was the brightness of the stars may have caused some sort of reflection off the corrector?

I fixed the grain, yes that was the original BRC image and it was
oversharpened. I'd like to add more data whilst M42 is still around if I get a chance. I thought I had more LRGB data from the TEC180.
