Description

Edit: I reprocessed the original image to get a more natural star color.

Finally back imaging after months of waiting for a solution to fix the large Periodic Error on my new HEQ5 (now replaced with new unit). My first time processing an image shot with the Optolong L-eNhance filter. The individual RGB channels were extracted to create an HSO image using a synthetic green channel. The synthetic channel was made using the Ha and Oiii data by applying a PixelMath formula courtesy of thecoldestnights.com.

The Zenithstar 73 seems to suffer from some collimation issue causing strange dark spikes around the brighter stars. Unfortunately, the scope was sent back to William Optics for investigation.

Let me know what you think!
