Any update? I have the exact same camera/ filters and I'm about to get the 135mm

Sorry, forogt to quote you so I'll post again: I used the ZWO 7nm narrowbad filters I always check focus when switching filters Each channel look like it is in focus, just bloated star in my OIII channel usually Photoshop for the Rosette, and Pixinsight for California ( Ijust got the trial) Zenithstar 61 with the field flat 61A Thanks for the reply! The only thing I can think of that might mess with my images is the field flattener, sometimes it can get loose and I have to check it occasionally, but if it were messed up during these sessions, my stars would be elongated towards the edges.

Hey everyone! I'm having issues with getting crisp detail in my photos even though my focus is perfect (I use a bahtinov mask). I'm hoping it's just my editing skills, but I just want to make sure its not an issue with my aquisistion or something. I'll attach some sample photos to look at. Both photos were taken with the ASI 183mm Pro, 300 second subs at unity gain. The CA nebula is around 16 hours of data while the Rosette is around 12.

Hello everybody. My last imaging session left odd looking star trials in my photos, almost like a clockwise motion. My polar alignment and balance were good, so I am not sure why this issue is occuring. Below is an attached video of me scrolling through my subs. Any help/ advice would be greatly appreciated!
