> "Each telescope has different patterns" This one's extra-special! The pattern is multiple + shapes, rotated and superimposed on top of each other. And they're different colors! That's this telescope's signature scanning algorithm—I don't know what that is, but, it's evident it takes multiple exposures, in different color filters, with the image plane rotated differently relative to the CCD plane in each exposure. I assume there's some kind of signal processing rationale behind that choice. edit: Here's one of the bright stars, I think it's HD 107428…
