Antares
After a discussion with an 8yo who wanted an image with real stars , not little dots, I worked out he wanted diffraction spikes..not normally seen on a refractor..
.. so I made a frame with crosshairs using 80lb fishing line.
Turns out I don't mind it...

I've been away and realized I uploaded the wrong jpeg, this has more colour
Cheers

Thanks Andy, I've also done a 3hr of the Pleiades using the crosshairs, to be processed soon.

I’m not unhappy with the look and thanks, but I was expecting to get my wrists slapped for doing it though…

Thanks Jim, a great area, I think the most diverse for 'natural"colour in the sky, a bit late now though, next year.
