I'll take a guess. The little circle looks like a ghost from Alnitak. Not sure how it's there unless there's some glass inline? Coma corrector or other glass device inline Scott? CCD glass cover?

There's gotta be something else down the tube too cos a 4 vane spider should only have 4 spikes. There's 6 in the pic.

I'm not complaining! It's better than anything my gear could do in a million years, and the extra artifacts take nothing away from the image at all. Outstanding for 10 minutes.

My Mintron camera hates the Horsehead. I could expose all night and wouldn't pick up that much detail.
