Hi
It would be nice not to have to use things like light pollution filters, focal reducers etc in front of the imager (mine is a DSI2) but I often need to use these. I find that when long exposures are done the bright objects like stars can produce small dim new moon like reflections in my images. I have fiddled around trying to eliminate these but they seem always be there in some form. I take the coward's way out and go over my final adjusted image with a paint brush ie picking up the nearby colour (eg dark sky) and then brushing out the reflections. This usually takes only a few minutes. I trust this does not break the "ethics of adjusting" (LOL)?
Cheers peter
