This is going to be tricky, as the issue seems to be more an acquisition/atmospheric one than a feature of your optical train.
Was transparency exceptionally bad when you took this? Do the halos show up in all subframes, or did your optics dew over at some stage?

Hello Ivo,

Some datas seems better so the problem is from atmospheric issue..., the lagoon is low in our country so that's the reason I guess. So I'll keep only the better images . Thanks

Ok, good to know we have found the problem. You could just stack the frames that are better? Does that still give you enough signal to process?
