You may be able to sort out the later with a round baffle to reduce the diameter of the flattener. The reflections also may be from filters if you are using a mono camera and filterwheel. You may need to get better filters that have the latest antireflection coatings.

Thanks Greg, do you have an FLT110 & the FF68? Re- above details.
William Optics has no idea why this is happening, as does anyone else.
attached are some stretched images to accentuate the extremes of whats happening.
Regardless of the type if imager, (not using any filters) this still occurs. currently using DSLR's
