   I do not think its your spider vanes the rest of the Stars only have 4   Alnitak is a big Star doing this to your image.

It has not done it with other peoples images with similarly over exposed stars.

Hi Adam,

 

Check that your spider vanes are not twisted, the vanes on my 130P-DS were slightly twisted when mine scope arrived and that caused the two extra diffraction spikes in my images.

Ian where they offset in angle like mine or parallel ?

Hey all, I just started out in this hobby and have a 130P-DS, I have taken a few pics so far and its seems to be going quite well, however.....

I have a problem with my diffraction spikes. At first I thought that it was an issue with focus but I have now totally discounted that.

Basically I have 6 and not 4 like I am supposed to. See pictures.
