Guest ben72 Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 hi all, did some test shots of the veil nebula the other day(just to see what to expect), and noticed the spikes on the star are forming V shapes as opposed to SPIKES. i know this is due to to spiders, but other than trial and error, is there another way to re-align/straighten them? ignore the pic quality, cropped and over processed to define the spikes... thanks in advance, ben.

+Graham Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Hi Ben Only way I can think of is to line up on a bright star take a short sub adjust the spider,, another sub and so on until the effect disappears. Sorry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BAZ Posted July 6, 2013 Share Posted July 6, 2013 Iam not an imager, but that might indicate something in the train is not sitting square, adding the angular distortion to the light path. It doesn't look like a collimation issue, as the stars are the same over the entire field. I suspect it may be a focuser related fault. Have a look and check everything is sitting square.
