Yeah I bought self adhesive backed flocking from Scopestuff. I think its scopestuuff.com
Its not very expensive and fairly easy to use. I flocked the interior of my RCOS 12.5 inch and it improved contrast a bit.
Here's the link:

I also made a little ring out of black thin cardboard you can get from a newsagent to block the last 5mm of the primary mirro as
sometimes the primary mirror has a turned down edge right at the edge that causes unwanted effects although I don't know that it causes
large round reflections like that more extra haloes around stars.
