For the reflections ... coming from the AP CCDT67 reducer in combination with GSO ... i have the same problem with the 10" depend on position of out of field big stars... You may mitigate it decreasing the reduction factor to F6.5 calculating the right spacer with the AP formula.

This is an example of the same problem on the bottom right corner in one of my old image:

All the best.

Thanks Leo - beautiful image you linked to. I had to search for your reflection though! I will try the baffle flock modification to see if that cuts down the problem and also pursue the method you suggest.
