The gradient is most likely unwanted light entering the front end tube of the newt. Adding a cardboard tube extended from the front like a dew shield should help.

Thanks kevin.
In regards to the streak, is there anything I can do about that? Is it exposed more on one side due to the position in the frame or the collimation or something else?
Ill make a dew shiels up and see if that helps.
I'm just worried that there is no hardware defect with the new ota. Hopefully its all normal.
Im new to newts
