Lovely! Is it my tired eyes (up way too early for the Lunar Eclipse) but the bright stars have diffraction spikes? Did you put string over the objective? Or add them in post? Or am I imagining it?

I can't speak to what you imagine "pre-coffee" but the kaf8300 chip does produce a little diffraction spike,, cause by microlens diffraction.

You can usually avoid this selecting a different algorithm for integration, but it is a trade off with resolution.

Very nice field, even if the b&w version already had is charm.

Chris, thanks. I didn't think through that it was a OSC camera and forgot about the microlens flares. I'm so used to mono + filterwheel.

Stuart,

He's using a mono camera.  This isnt a bayer matrix causing this. It's just a characteristic of the KAF8300 chip.

Oh! Maybe long ago my ST10XME had micro lenses now that I think about it more. Thanks Chris!

Excellent image Roland, with very detailed galaxy cores and nice colors
