No the inside is well baffled matt black however I believe reflections of this sort are not uncommon when imaging using SCT and RC's from what I have read.

I noticed them on the 10 minute exposures I took of M83 (not as bad as this) but not on the 6 minute subs I did of Centaurus A.

I'm fairly new to RC/SCT scopes and imaging in general but being so perfectly round could it be reflection caused in the baffle tubes.

Also refer this link may give some ideas
