Description

Was curious to see how the bright star Navi would behave when viewed through 3nm NB filters. Normal bright star in Ha and Sii, but in Oiii.... Wow, amazing diffraction spikes and this is with a refractor at F5.5! Absolutely zero PixInsight or Photoshop processing was used on the spikes themselves.

I thought the look was so unique and interesting in the natural Oiii blue that I took the 'ghost' in that direction as well for cold, creepy, darkness of space feel.
