Description

Hello, I am testing the new "Antlia Quad Band Anti-Light" filter. This is my first acquisition, but on very bright stars like Alnitak, it created a strange halo, with an exposure time of 300 seconds. The strange thing is that the same subject with the same exposure but using the Antlia Triband filter did not produce the same result. What do you think could be the reason? 

I believe I should reduce the exposure time, what do you think? In any case, I managed to recover that part in post-production, and I will share the result of the processing with you.

good news, the problem on IC434 is not visible, there are no artifacts,  with 150DP F4 Skywatcher and ZWO ASI 294 MC, under the single 300" image from Alnitak.

I think we can conclude that the problems I encountered at the beginning were due to the RC8 setup.
