Thanks all for your input.

Yes you are correct its a VC-200L clone scope.
How thin would the vanes have to be ground down to eliminate this effect?

Well known issue, usually resolved by thinning the over-thick spider vanes, making sure the primary mirror clips aren't stressing the mirror and making sure not to under-sample images.
