Nice to look at and it makes star fields look just like the pictures in the books. However, these four point shapes are diffraction spikes, i.e. artifacts caused by the 'spider' which holds the secondary mirror in any reflecting telescope. In other words the spikes are not real and we would not see them with our own eyes, even if we were closer to these stars. One wonders what Christmas card stars would look like had Newton not invented the reflecting telescope.
