Could it be a collimation issue? I use a laser collimator, but perhaps I'm not getting it perfect enough? I'm fairly confident it's not a focus issue, because I use a bahtinov mask for focusing.
What about light bouncing of the the edge of the secondary mirror, especially if it is an untreated edge. Perhaps post a picture of the front of your telescope near the mirror.
