the "lens flare" is called "diffraction spikes"
all telescopes have them because you cant just float a mirror with no struts
the struts hold the secondary mirror in place

>When light from a bright star hits the thin metal vanes holding the secondary mirror, it diffracts—bending around the edges.
>This bending causes interference patterns, which show up as spikes in the image.
>The number and orientation of the struts determines the shape of the spikes. For example:
>Four struts - four spikes at 90° angles (like Hubble)
>Three struts - six spikes due to symmetry (like James Webb)
