Diagnosis - shutter or electronics?

Here is a challenge for armchair doctors/camera experts.

Consider the attached screenshot. This is a 30 second image taken with a STX16803. I took 6 images at 30s last night - 3 of them looked like this while the remaining 3 had the full field of the camera. They were alternating ie dodgy, goood, dodgy etc.

Do I have problems with the electronics of the camera so it isn't reading the sensor properly? Or is the shutter playing up?

I didn't have the opportunity to take the camera off the scope last night but will do so later today. I'd be interested to hear if anyone else has seen this.
