Thank you for sharing your photos - this is exactly what this project is all about! :-)
It turned out masterfully, as the object was captured under extreme conditions. During the shoot, a solar wind surge hit and the sky was simply ablaze with aurora. I didn’t stop shooting, although on some frames the aurora still broke through despite the filter.
A mask with a cross-shaped aperture for collimation. After using a Newtonian telescope, I really liked the way stars looked with it, so I made this mask.
The beauty of a reflector is that you can easily stack data from multiple imaging sessions, even over several years.
The diffraction spikes here would get in the way.
