Problem:

This comet looking flare is the most common type of reflection I have experienced. Ones near the corners are even more comet-shaped. Note that this image has 2 reflections - one probably scattered light from the first.

Fix:

Try moving the telescope enough to get rid of the problem. This may be difficult depending on the observing target.
