Description

17 subs @ 300 secs - captured on 2021-8-5.  I'm still on a steep learning curve but this was the first image I printed on a large metallic print for my home office.  I still notice the artifacts of the stars having doughnut shapes (smaller, medium stars in particular).  My processing tends to exaggerate the effect, however even in my raw FITS files this is still present.  I'm beginning to think it's my optics somehow.  Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.
