Free 3 month upgrade to the first person who can correctly answer all of this... *Congrats Dr. Acula!*

She has half the answer. I'm still waiting for the other half for a completely correct answer. What is specifically causing it in this case, the proper name. The spider vane is just what it is, but the presence of the spider vane alone does not cause it nor is it necessary for this kind reflection to occur (my telescope lacks a spider vane and still experiences these kinds of reflections). What is causing it in this specific case, and yes, I'm looking for a proper and specific name. It requires knowing where this image is pointed.

No, like I said, the first part of the answer is already out there, that is to say "what" it is. I'm still waiting for the answer as to the name of the thing that is causing it in this specific case as well as the film plate number.

Looks to me like Sirius is the cause.

I have no idea where to find the plate number

Was Mcmath Pierce the telescope used?

Astronomy contest time! I will give a free month upgrade to the first person who can correctly answer both parts of this question. What is this AND what specifically is causing it (I'm looking for a proper name here):
