Hi Pete,
There is a thread on the older f/9 RC scopes in the equipment forum. The problem seems to be the baffles in the tube giving reflections from bright stars. The problem can be fixed by covering the internal surface of the tube with black felt. Some members have suggested using a felt lined dew shield - much easier to install.
Cheers,
