I am not sure how to diagnose this problem - I am using a Canon 20Da and 300MM f4 IS lens on a Kenko Sky Memo.
I am getting odd shaped stars with this combination - almost looks like a scope out of collimation. I don't think it is a tracking problem- but does it look like flexure, atmospheric problems (weather has been pretty bad lately), the lens itself? I think I have good polar alignment and it doesn't look like tracking problems I have seen before.
This is a 2 minute exposure.
BTW - I don't mean the diffraction spikes on the large star, I mean the slight "ghost" images or reflections on the other small stars...
Thanks in advance!
