Cuiv, The Lazy Geek | My CarbonStar 150 Newt has a (small) flare issue and I need your help! @CuivTheLazyGeek | Uploaded June 2024 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.

To be fair, the flare issue isn't a big deal to me, it's just something I'm wondering about!

Further Notes!
- The mirror mask is painted with Musou Black Paint
- A lens hood with the inside painted with Musou Black Paint didn't do anything
- The coma corrector doesn't intrude in the light path (it is below the baffles)
- Some Patreon supporters noted that ZWO cameras have screws near the sensor that could reflect light, I'll try painting them black and/or swapping the camera!
- Patreon Supporters also suggested painting the side of the coma corrector that has threads with Musou black paint, I'll try that!
- It's not the OAG/guider prism, since there is none! I'm using the ZWO ASI2600MC Duo!
- Other suggestions welcome!
