Ian, Thanks, I wasnt aware of the coma correctors.. Im lucky enough to be able to achieve focus without a low profile focuser, dont ask me how...

Mmmmm ..... vigetting and poor illumination (of edge of fov on the chip) may be an issue if you only have a 1.25" r&p focusor.)

Maybe you should do some calcs using http://www.catseyecollimation.com/designie5.html to check out your current optics and OTA hardware and work out what you need to do to optimise the newt's OTA for astrophotography.
