RC 10" and CCD with focuser question

Hi guys,

Thinking of purchasing a GSO 10" RC.
My question is, all my current scopes have 2" focusers and I've never upgraded them so my images always need to be cropped as the FOV on the edges are always obscured. The reason being is that I am using an Atik 11000 full frame CCD .I am told the GSO 10" has 3" focuser but steps down to standard 2" eyepiece. Will this just land me in the same boat ? Never seen these scopes up close so I don't wanna buy one and find out the 3" to 2" step down still obscures the frame on the corners.

If the focuser does allow for my full frame CCD will I need an adapter for my camera as well?

Thanks for any input in advance.

Kind Regards
Shane
