I get a lot of flaring too looks like a big X shooting out from Venus. if I shot Venus with normal exposure with my phone it'd be too bright, so maybe it wasn't the best representation of what to expect. thou when I use the 6mm the glare is reduced quite alot.

I find Venus easiest to view as soon as it's visable as well. when the sky becomes darker Venus just gets brighter.

also it's a shame no one knows what's wrong with your scope. has the mirror been moved up the tube by any chance, for imaging?
