Hi all. I know this has been imaged a lot, but I had a bright moon the other night and decided to image a bright object. I used the ASA N8 and my old standby ST2000XM camera. Here is a link to the full version on my website. Be sure to click the image for full resolution.

Comments and suggestions are always welcome.
Cheers,
Tyler

Hi all. Does anyone have an idea where the extra diffraction spike came from? I am seeing this in some of my recent images with the ASA. It is not always in the same location on the frame, and I have seen it with two different cameras. I am guessing that it is a reflection from somewhere in the optical train. Any ideas?? :S


Thanks for the nice comments Louie, Eric, and Tom.

Excellent work Tyler! beautiful!
As far as the "extra" spike, are you using any filters? if so, could this reflection be "bouncing" off of it? (just a thought)

Thanks for sharing! 8)
