Help my Triffid has blue dots and flares

This is a stack of 35 x 25 sec subs at ISO 1600 taken with a Sony Nex-3 camera and a 12' LX200 with no guiding and only alt/az tracking stacked in DDS
.
I noticed that not all only some stars have a blue section at one side and the brightest stars have a flare pattern around them.

I was hoping that someone might help me to know what this is and how to fix the problem, I don't know if it is a setup problem with the scope, camera or stacking software.

This problem has appeared on only some of my images and seems to be effecting stars at random throughout the image.

I am a little lost as to what causes this so any help is appreciated, thanks Wayne.
