Description

The "red dots" surrounding Antares are reflections of the scopes mirror. I have no explanation on why it is in a grid pattern. The Camera is modified with a UV/IR Astrodon filter replacing the stock Canon LPF2. The image is integrated and adjusted with PixInsight, and I'll leave it here as an example of some of the downsides of using a modified Canon (though others had said this can happen also, maybe to a lesser extent, on non-modified cameras as well).
