Hey Wes,

Could be many things but, I also had what you describe
on a Horsehead image. Turned out it was an internal
reflection from my JMI NGF-S. At that time they were
not flatting out the insides of their focusers. Did it
myself and the problem was gone. However it should be
noted that the arc was caused by a star outside the
FOV.

Had a light leak recently in one of my OM-1s and it
was showing up about every third frame. I had the felt
replaced.

Alan
