    Re: Irradiation; [was "Star sparkle in sextant image"]

    And conversely this must be part of the phenomenon of improving an image by
    looking through the aperture created by one's fingers, placed as you
    describe below for seeing the shadow that indicates irradiation.  When I do
    that without my corrective lenses, bright images appear sharper, with less
    "ghosting", if that's the right word.
