2. Rotation experiement.
Last month captured ngc253, Moonlite focuser was rotated to a different angle. There was still a flair but in a different location.

A mate has suggested that because the 6D is full frame i could be getting reflection of the scope or focuser barrel. My moonlite focuser is 2" and he suggested i may need 3"

Anyone care to comment and is anyone else out there shooting using a full frame DSLR on a 120ed refractor.

1. Are you using liveview? Try it without. What about your nightscape shots that you mentioned ?

2. Try the rotation on the same subject .. that will confirm if the light source is a star outside of view.

I thought your obsy was pitch black why would full frame vs crop make a difference, and if its in your nightscape shots? The suggestions/ tests listed by people will help us help you identify the problem.
