ASI071MC Pro with wide angle lenses

Has anybody here tried using an ASI071 MC-Pro with wide angle lenses - example 35mm F1.4 ? I'm considering buying one and would like to be able to use it for DSO and nightscape imaging.

I've tried my 14-24mm and 35mm EOS lenses with my ASI1600 and ASI183's with rather awful results (like stars in the middle being in focus but out of focus or severe aberations towards the outer edges).

I tried stopping down and adjusting the flange-to-sensor distance.

Given that the 071 sensor is apparently the same APS-C sensor used in some DSLRs I thought I might be able to use my wider lenses for doing nightscape work with it - up to 180 degree multi-row mosaics of the Milky Way with the ground.



Thanks, Kelvin.
