The Sun - First Lights

The Mylar arrived and it was quickly put to use.

This is the first light, I know the focus is off a bit and the Sun was setting but what are the streaks? On the first image? Is it because the Mylar is not flat enough in its housing? I read here somewhere it doesn't actually need to be perfectly flat? Or am I wrong? I have uploaded a second image and with a little bit of processing the streaks are fainter? Should I be capturing at a slower rate?

Anyway your thoughts would be a great help.

Both images taken at 1/200 sec.

Many thanks

Paul
