Hi there,

ok first and foremost. It is likely you have a scope from the second batch and not the third batch. I found that on bright nebula the reflections were not present, however on this galaxy and M83 it was present.

The new baffles will not fit your scope so flocking is the only solution. The optics are fine you just need to make a few mods to get the most out of the scope. I only found two galaxies that this issue arose. I have seen plenty of other galaxies imaged with this scope and no reflections.

RC are coma corrected not flat fielded, use of a flattener is mandatory if you want to correct for field curvature.

For the price, this scope is a ball tearer, it just has some spots that is all.
