Took the scope out for a quick look last night and I tested the 31 Nagler on the Moon. There was a LOT of stray light/glare/whatever it was, particularly on the left side of the view. It was even more pronounced than when I'd used the eyepiece on Jupiter.
Would a poorly collimated scope cause this issue? Information from another thread on here has me questioning the collimation of my scope and I'm wondering if maybe it's showing up due to that. It may also explain why previously I haven't noticed it.
