Beautiful. The slight distortion of the stars is due to placing the filter in front of the Starizona 0.75x corrector. Through experience, it has been verified that stars are pinpoint only when the filter is in the filter drawer behind the corrector.

I didn't quite get the exposure segment right, and I didn't bother adjusting it further—I just shot as is. Plus, I didn't have a slider; I just bought one (a colleague is selling theirs), so it should be easier with filters now. Changing them without one was a whole ordeal.
