Dont' sweat it. Doesn't matter the scope, even high end. There are a few problem stars, Antares, Alnitak to name a few. You can't do much about reflections, in and off the field. The only mitigation is to offset or image the same field on each side of the meridian and hopefully reflections will reject during stacking.
