Hi everyone

It's big telescope weekend, so we looked at taking advantage of filling more of the frame. No filters, so maybe this colour is correct (?). Always a challenge, colour. I sometimes wish it had never been invented! Oh, and just hate those refractor halo stars; cheepo cc.

Anyway, thanks for looking. All comments as always most welcome.

Definitely a worthwhile evening.

My personal hate is diffraction spikes on stars, which I can only assume you added in processing as it is a refractor. That said, it is your picture and you should never let anyone talk you out of what you like.

Hi. My sadly waning command of English. Sorry. It's taken with a reflector but because we had only a 2 element cc, it has made refractor like halos around some stars.

Cheers
