Where do the crosses on images of bright stars come from?

A lens hood extension with a cross. After using a Newtonian telescope, I still love stars like these. That's why I use an extension mask when shooting.

I also love stars with diffraction spikes. And the shot is amazing!

I have nothing against the rays. But I wouldn't go out of my way to capture them.
