Reseating it seems to have done the trick! No idea how it has worked itself loose in the first place, but oh well
Thank you!

Re: Reflection
Yes, it is there with the 178 as well, and it is centered in the middle.
I did not make it home in time to try today. Hopefully I will be able to run a quick test tomorrow

Re: Reflection
No, not full frame. Taken with my QHY183M (1" sensor). I usually use my ASI178mm, but it died the other night
No, I don't have another BF. But I will try reseating it.

Re: Reflection
Well it is not the ERF! It's somewhere in the blocking filter. Weird

Reflection
Right, I have now got rid of most of the reflections in my Lunt 50. But I am still left with this big one! Is this coming from the first ERF (red filter)? Will tilting it even more get rid of it? I assume tilting it too much would be bad as well?
Thanks!
Thanks!

Re: My biggest project to date
Thank you Alexandros! Full disk imaging is a little different I think. I think it depends on the frame AS chooses as a reference. If it is slightly distorted, your whole image will be a little off. So you end up with the wobble when creating an animation. I have never had a problem with closeups Fra...

Cheers Alexandra! I will try and add an extension next time. I bought a PMT T-adapter, so you would think it was designed to work at that distance. But I guess it might be different for solar.
My gifs never look good, which is why I prefer a video.
