Just had a look at the field you captured...very nicely done.

Not sure how much more the RC16 would bring to the party.
But my freshly minted STXL16200 should work well with the F6 reducer and deliver a similar field to the 16803...
..that also means new sky-flats/darks/dud pixel maps.

Given the torrential weather here...maybe a project for next year.
