Photo description / processing

A bright 2.4 magnitude star of the Big Dipper is located 40 arcminutes from the galaxy.

The star is outside the field of view, but reflections of its light from the walls of the telescope's internal baffle

created several concentric colored arcs across the entire field of view.

A beautiful galaxy, and overall the frame is decent. I have a Sharpstar 0.95 corrector that also gave harsh rainbows around bright stars on a Newtonian. Then I got a Meyon 1x and it seems fine. But the Starizona 0.75x apparently has issues and produces a halo around stars.
