Thought i would update my progress in dealing with my setup issues with the GSO 14 Truss.

Thanks to the help from everyone here and particularly some tips from Thava I think that i have managed to eliminate those horrid internal light reflection.

I have also fixed the issue's i was having with my Atik 383 freezing up after getting some help from ATik Support.

So basically all i have done is extend the central baffle tube using some black foam tape from clark rubber and flocked my Moonlight focuser.
I made up a little jig cut to mirror the size of my 8300 Chip so i could work out how much to extend the length of the baffle until there was no stray light.I still need to do some testing to see what works better extending the baffle or using thicker foam tape.
