Horsehead and Flame Nebulas Last Night South Coast

This is my first capture of these Nebula using my ZWO 2600MC OSC camera
Location South Coast
Scope 8” f5 GSO newt
Mount EQ6-R
Filter ZWO Duoband
Cooled to -12C
30 x 180sec subs dithered
15 x darks
No flats
Captured from 11.30pm to 2.30am
APT
Stacked in DSS
Processed in Startools V1.6

Original framed image ( just squeezed both objects in FOV ( my 8” has a bit too much focal length for this object )
Also some crop frames to show fine detail

Comments most welcome

Note the large circular anomalies to one side ?? Any ideas ?? They showed up very very faint on the subs. To big for dust on sensor , maybe a dried droplet but my sensor appears pristine clean , so does my filter and so does my coma corrector
Cant be mirrors ?? , cleaned them both as well spotless !!
Any advice most welcome
Thanks
