Using Barlows/powermates for imaging?

Hi guys.

Does anyone out there use a refractor and barlow/refractor for imaging? I have a 3x TV powermate, the 2" variety. I've used it before when I used my 5D mkII, but since it's a full frame high res camera cropping into image so the edges wernt so noticeable, wasn't an issue.

Now that i have the STF 8300m with a much smaller sensor and less res, cropping will be limited and so I'll have a lot of elongated stars out towards the edges.

has anyone successfully used a barlow/powermate and a field flattener together?

Thanks
