No real reflections to worry about. I got sent a baffle kit about 4 years ago for free from Planewave when they upgraded their baffling. Originally my CDK17 was a poor performer when it came to bright stars out of field but once the baffling was installed it improved a lot.
I also flocked the inside of the secondary shroud and also got a new secondary shroud sent to me (it has a tapered thickness so it covers about 5mm total of the perimeter of the secondary, also reduces reflections).
I flocked the carbon fibre struts as well. Not sure that did anything. Flocked inside the mirror housing also.
But I think it was the baffling that did the trick.
If yours is an early model 20 inch I would call them about it.

Hi, Greg. Yours is the best long focal length Ha Flame I've seen. Separately from that, yours has no hint of reflections. I'll contact PlaneWave and nag them.
On a happy note, just did a night of the Crab Nebula, and interestingly, not a hint of troubles from Zeta Tauri.
