Image artifact

Hi,

Before wasting another night, I am looking for some advice regarding the artifacts in the images I took last night. Attached is a stack of about 2h of 120s exposures which shows it quite nicely in the top right corner.

Equipment:
RC8 + CCDT67 (1200mm focal length), luminance filter, Telecope Express OAG TSOAG9, self-made camera similar to QHY8.

The artifacts are (barely) visible in all images and flats. While CCDT67 is a new addition to the imaging train, I can't imagine how it would be causing this effect. I am suspicious of light reflecting from OAG but I don't think I can move the prism out much more. See the attached image 2.

Ignoring the dust collection and bad flats, any hints?

Thanks in advance,
Luka

Answered my own question, it was caused by OAG. I moved it out by less than 1mm and the artifacts are gone.
