[ATM] Ghosts in the Coulter



I posted a question a few weeks back about Ghosts in a 10 inch Coulter.  I
got a lot of great responses and one at a time they have all failed. 
There are still ghosts on a bright image.  I looked at Venus with the
scope and I see a nice bright image and 6 ghosts of Venus in a little
cluster on the lighted side.  I have included a link to a simple sketch I
uploaded to the board.

The blue half circle represents the focused image.

Could these all be eyepiece reflections?

It is a very short focus scope, f4.1, is this sort of thing common in
short focus scopes?
