I'm doing some H alpha imaging of the Pelicancan anyone tell me if the streaks in the corner are real or filter dirt/grease.

Hi Kieran,

Jeex that looks really strange. They aren't real as you can see from this H-Alpha image.

Hmmm, looks too sharp to be dust. Could be greasy streaks from cleaning the filter, take some flats and see if that helps.

Looking great BTW!

Regards and Clear Skies,

Dave.

Definitely a nice and unusual image, those streaks look some sort of light leakage
