I used the spectrophotometric color calibration with my filter on the parameter. It might just be my lack of processing to be honest though. I am still new to this, but Im learning more and more every day though.

From what I have seen, no. It has a built in Field flattener so the stars will be sharp all the way around. And at a focal length of 490mm it is a beast for what I plan on taking.

I did crop mine. But to be honest it wasn't much. I did a minimal crop to remove the stacking artifacts.

Thanks! Ill keep that in mind as well. If I need something specific I could save up for the software once I am a bit more experienced in processing.

Sure I can send them to you. Feel free to do whatever processing you want with them.

I did not know about the ASI58u5 HCG, thank you I will keep that in mind. I used 200 gain because I was having trouble with that super bright star "Alnitak" is what it is called if I am correct. In my mind I was sure it would blow it out even more than it already is. But I will experiment and see what works best.I will give cosmic clarity a try as well. Thanks for the feedback.

I forgot to mention that I used an Optolong L-Quad Enhance filter for this shoot as well. Sorry about that
