Have you got a dew shield for the scope? That would block any stray light from street lights - as long as you aren't pointed close to them.

Assuming that isn't the problem, and with a bit of plate solving:

Cen A - the most likely culprit is Iota Cen. Maybe SAO 204545
HH - the most likely culprit is Alnitak
M42 - the most likely culprit is Alnitak

A dew shield might block those too.

There is nothing particularly bright near NGC2070 to cause reflections.
