I was a little surprised at the appearance of the brighter for a Tak refractor. Is that just what the filters and camera do?
Either way, top image  |
The halos (I take it this is what you mean) are I think a combination of filters, distance from the reducer and the speed of the scope now. The small diffraction spikes are most likely to do with the 8300 microlenses on the sensor. Mostly I see this with narrowband and Ha in particular, so I am guessing the halos are filter orientated, even though I have a replacement set.
For those interested this is my final image. Pretty happy with it and I will consider other narrowband data to add to it for a more interesting image.
