How many images, how bright is the exposure (ADU) how did you stack them?

Greg: square filters that don't have blackened edges will give clearly visible artifacts in the flats. Most pronounced in the green, clear, [OIII] and sometimes blue filters. Typically not so bad with Red and Halpha

you ought to blacken the edges. See this:
