This is a True colour photo with filters so it has to be taken the same a a coloured DSLR MOON free. So you are shooting bit before and after new moon. This really is my first using all 4 filters Lum, Red, Green, Blue but if you look closely you will see 4 circles 1 top left and 1 bottom right and two very large ones in the main part of the photo.
At this stage I dont know where its coming from I have taken 3 sets of flats ( which remove these) but they are still here. On a hunch I re looked at the filters in the wheel to see if I did put them in back to front, sad to say they are correct so I still dont have a clue.

I am wondering if this is stray light from a street light and I have to put the hood on the telescope. I have to wait for next months moon free to try again Put my thoughts to the test.
You are looking not at nebulas but dusty parts of space you have to capture LRGB nothing here for narrow band. Mostly away from the milky way you see these areas of Dust. Not only is it a different way of taking the photo the editing is so very different as well to NB Things dont always go to plan some times things are hard fought.
