Question regarding Hyperstar reflections

I have been searching the net regarding Hyperstar and the pros and cons. The only real con I have come across is the reflections when shooting close to bright stars.

Has anyone on here had the problem and tried flocking the inside of the OTA? Just a thought that this may reduce the reflections effect. Still thinking of getting a Hyperstar unit for my 14" LX200.

Thank you.

I flocked the 9.25 and I'm not getting noticeable reflections. But I wouldn't be sure the flocking has anything to do with it.

Hi Peter, in my case the inside of the OTA although mat balck was nowhere near as anti-reflective as when I flocked it with Protostar. Be interested if someone has flocked their OTA after using a Hyperstar and then noting the difference.
