Orion Nebula from Last Night ( In Halpha )

After a typical long seasonal Monsoon break, it's most gratifying to revisit this old friend again.

Imaged with: AP Mach 1 GTO, Takahashi FSQ85, Modified Mead DSI III Pro. 5x8min, 3x1min, 3x30s

in my experience, even refractors will have diffraction spikes due to... the spacers!

unless it's an oil-spaced apo which has the elements touching (no spacers).

normally these spikes are not visible but on a really long exposure (like, 10 minute single sub) you will definitely see them around the brightest stars.

Orly is right, the spikes are from the spacers. :P
