What causes spikes around stars in pictures, and how can I prevent them?

What causes spikes around stars in pictures, and how can I prevent them?

$Diffraction-spikes$

Diffraction spikes. B. Stecklum (TLS) et al./ WFPC2/HST/NASA

The light entering the telescope diffracts around the vanes, and the resulting image shows an interference pattern (spikes) around the brightest objects.

A refracting telescope doesnт??t have a secondary mirror, so it will not produce an image with spikes.
