Description

I decided to upload this horsehead as an example of the limitations of my equipment.  It's the first time I'd imaged it and the first time I realised that bright stars would cause severe reflections in my imaging train (it looks like it is mainly driven by my ZWO filters, but somehow made worse by the coma corrector).  I'd like to fix it, but the cost of "proper" filters far outweighs my budget and is a lower priority than investing in a more capable mount.
