A beautiful broom!

However, I would recommend looking into something about Pinched Optic, for example here:

It might help fix the glare from bright stars.

Thank you for the advice, I'll give it a try!
Unfortunately, the L-eXtreme filter produces such glare around bright stars.

In this case, I'm referring to the three-ray diffraction pattern, similar to the one discussed in that topic on Cloudy Nights.

Yes, I understand, I've already looked into it. I don't think I'll do anything about it anytime soon, since it doesn't really interfere with living or shooting, but I've taken note.
