Thanks for the help everyone! I think I found two things that are likely causative.
First off I took off the camera, opened up the dome and pointed it at the sky. My rather costly precise parts adapter that threads into my drawtube and connects to my Celestron OAG is like a black mirror. Super reflective. Rather unimpressed I have to say, given the cost.
In addition to that, I noticed my dew shield had fallen back quite some way, presumably due to the crappy locking mechanism for the dew shield on the Esprit, and the weight of the flip-flat.
So I suspect the dew shield falling back allowed more stray light in which then reflected off the crazy-reflective precise parts adapter.
Megan (my wife) tells me we have some blackboard paint, which I believe some people use to resolve these reflections?
