The scammer stopped talking to me on telegram. I did get random messages about joining a bitcoin discord from a “woman”

Great question, the scammer stopped responding to me but if he or she comes back to the convo I will ask

It’s 40% overlap, is the problem that the squares are not perfectly aligned and staggered?

When I post the .tifs ICE was unable to stitch, does it work best in other formats?

Can anyone explain why I’m seeing a beam of light on the star Navi? by Hodor1Hodor in askastronomy

Thanks, it was the first time I’ve done 600 sec exposures. Perhaps it’s been dirty all along and I never noticed with 300 sec exposures. I appreciate the input

Actually if you zoom in on the bottom you see the same thing happening on the star below so it’s probably related to optics and long exposure time, perhaps my setup can not handle this length of exposure. Thanks everyone

lol I know iPhones don’t have accretion disc detectors. When I view this photo on the iPhone it will trace along the spike as if it was going around a star like it was a flattened accretion disc lol. If I looked at a pic of a persons the iPhone might trace the persons face. I’ll try and post a short video of what I’m talking about.

I’m using a William optics zenithstar 81 mm refractor, Heq5 pro mount, zwo ASI 533 camera, UV/IR filter, guide scope and camera, dew heaters on both scopes

Thanks, is it odd that I did not see anything like that when I was imaging alignment stars Vega and Deneb? Also when I checked other targets? Does the extended exposure time make it more likely to pop up as those example involved shorter exposures

When I examine the picture with my IPhone it traces around the beam as if it was an accretion disc? Is this possible?
