As I stated in the other post about the FSQ-85EDX, mine was an earlier version, just the FSQ-85ED, and I never had any issues with halos or the hourglass effect on any stars. I also use Chroma 3nm SHO filters as well with no halos, so it must be in the design of the EDX, and or the flatteners or reducers as I can also see the hourglass effect on the two bright stars in your image as well. I don't think the halos are filter related. Just a thought. |

I have the same setup with FSQ-85 ED, 1.01 reducer and Chroma 3nm SHO filters, and get the same “inverse lighthouse“ effect. I contacted Takahashi America in Houston, spoke with a gentleman who owns two FSQ-85s and was told that pattern is due to diffraction and is intrinsic to the Petzval design. |

I also have a Takahashi 85 ED FSQ. The hourglass appearance on very bright stars is present on all my images using Astrodon LFGB filters. |

yes the light house on very bright stars is a takahashi signature or pattern the problem is with the halos around the bright stars only SII |
