It looks a little like field curvature then. You said you are imaging at f/10, so you are not using a field flattener/focal reducer. That's probably the cause.

It could also be coma -- this does occur in SCTs despite the corrector plate, and can be made worse if you are not properly collimated. A f/6.3 FR/FF will help in managing this aberration too.
