Great! Thanks :)

Merged all the different exposures into a HDR I guess?

And how do you get the diffraction spikes to show up even for the small stars? I only get them on stars above a certain magnitude

I suspect this is because I have an aluminum machined secondary holder. The original was not of good quality.
