This hurts the astronomer. BTW, that darker smudge is the secondary mirror's shadow.

Know that I could have put more HDR noise in it but opted not to out of kindness.

That's awesome about the secondary. Never knew.

That fuzzy shadow is why the hard core lunar and planetary guys do not like to use telescopes with a secondary obstruction. We have people here that will buy this when they win the lottery. Can't blame them.
