Captured this image of the ET cluster using my iOptron Skytracker coupled with an Olympus E-30 and Hexanon 200 mm f4 lens. Three, 4 min exposures were stacked using Deep Sky Stacker and processed in PE12. Star spikes were added for artistic rendering.

Question, - Are all the photo's I see posted from various sources that show "star spikes" an added artistic device? I just assumed I was seeing these great images because of superior optics/APO/ and perfect resolution?? Are they ALL doctored up? Thomas
