Description

Unfortunately the bright star, Aldebaran, was just off the lower right of this image and a bad reflection was cast onto the sensor. I tried to stop the reflection but I tried blocking various local sources but to no avail. I think all I would have needed to do was slew the scope a little to prevent the star's image from focusing on the metal ground strip at the edge of the sensor.
