Nasty reflection. Seems to me you have 2 choices:
1. Ask for a refund and try ATS as I doubt Peter would sell gear that did that.
2. Go the route of fixing up the manufacturer's product with flocking and a new focuser.
Perhaps the focuser is better also on the later model as Peter says the focsuer was solid yet Paul's one he replaced the focuser witha Feathertouch one as it had too much flex.
I know from experience how annoying it is to do the manufacturers job for them so I'd recommend 1) above. There's no guarantee mucking around with fixes will solve it and it willl probably void your warranty or ability to refund if you start modifying it.
Most modern scopes use a series of baffles to redcue reflections.
They also coat interior surfaces with a matt black paint that is absorbing.
