posting the m45 photo with reflection issues that I shared in the forums here:
https://www.astrobin.com/forum/c/astrophotography/equipment/rgb-filter-reflections-from-bright-stars/?page=1#post-31234
you can see the green/red glare is reduced, but still visible. I found these same glare patterns in my Ha & RGB data on horsehead photos, so I'm still not sure if this is related to filters or stray light reflecting inside the scope.
even with issues, I still think this is an improvement over last year's version.
