This is driving me nuts, I cannot figure out why I have these reflections in my shots I am not using a F/R or F/F just a 90* Star Diagonal.
I'll try tonight with just a straight-thru fitting and see if that helps.
Any ideas are more than welcome thank you.

PS: It's not visible thru the Eyepieces.

No idea Craig.

But if straight through takes care of it, you can throw that diagonal Eastward and a touch South. :twisted:
It might work on a refractor... :mrgreen:

It worked perfectly on the Meade 8".

I found a few of my adapters that use anodized aluminum will give reflections also along with various glass too. I used velcro, just the hoop side and lined a few of my most problemsome parts and it works well to cut down any inter reflections.

Glad you got it sorted without having to delve into DIY

You don't say much about your setup. Is it possibly light going in through the viewfinder eyepiece?
