Hi Guys,
Got my Vespera II a month or so ago, and due to the great weather here in the UK, had a grand total of 2 clear nights since getting it! I've managed to get a few images but i think i've got an issue with my CLS filter. Seems on most, if not all images, i've got a white streak running down them. Without the CLS filter on there, theres no streak but obviously a lot of LP. I've tried cleaning the lens and it's not helped much so i'm guessing it's a defect perhaps? I'll attach the images for opinions.
Also, i've attached links to my raw TIFs. I'm extremely new to post processing so i'm just wondering if theres anyone who could give my pictures a quick process to show what kind of data i'm getting. I'm currently in a Bortle 7 area (Well, 6/7 - so i'm not expecting miracles) and just want to know what i could be achieving. I do plan on buying and learning Pixinsight as i understand that whilst it's difficult to learn, it's the best there can be (or so i read).
Thanks guys!
