Your going that little extra has been rewarded with very nice captures. Try a dew tube extention on your scope to shield stray light.
I use a baffled tube which seems to help.
My old six had baffles all down the tube with a two and a half foot baffled dew tube ...

Thanks Alex

Good idea about the shield ,I just checked Bunnings website and they have cheap plastic buckets 165mm dia and 320mm long, I could cut the end out of it,spray the inside Matt black and fit some fibre spacing for a snug fit on the end of the scope

Cheers
