The big ones are you spider, the small ones you could minimize if you wanted to by filing any screw/bolt heads that are protruding in the light path |
Ok, thanks multiweb. I had a look for internal protrusions and nothing stands out that could be causing the small spikes except it could be the ends of the main spider vanes where they are fixed in place?
