Hi everyone

We have a refractor for a few days either side of new moon. Despite having been told to expect fat stars with coloured halos, we were pleasantly surprised by that which emerged.

It also gave us the opportunity to really put StarTools' SVDecon module to the test: very easy to overdo though, as it's so good.

Thanks for looking.

Wow that's a busy starfield!!

Why were you told to expect fat bloated stars? Is it the certain refractor you're using or refractors in general bloat stars more than others? Jw 😀

Hi

Only fat I think. Maybe that's not how to say it in English. Sorry!

Yeh v8 decon is pretty good.

We need an acronym for that. In case there isn't already, how about 'KWPS'.

' [...] In summary, the stars from the latest Costafortune Super 100 Pro certainly KWPS.'

Any takers?
