I wonder why there is flare/2 rings at the bottom left corner of the photo? It is due to street lights, external factors or due to calibration?
Thx

Could it be flares from distant lights?

Looks like light leak from local lights/moonlight

Reply from another forum mentioned it was due to reflection inside the telescope from the bright star Alkaid. The solution for some ES users was flocking the inside of the dew/light shield.
