I would have thought it fits the definition for astigmatism where a star forms a line towards the centre of the image or at 90 degrees to it.

Are your spacings spot on?

A full frame sensor is a big ask for a small scope. In my experience with Taks they needed a 4 inch focuser to be happy with full frame no matter what the brochure said.

Its very impressive overall.

Greg, if a 4” focuser is ideal for full frame, I’m way off it! The tiny Tak comes with nothing like that. If Roland says it’s vignetting, then that would definitely apply for this tiny tube setup. Re spacing, it’s bang on. Tak flattener to Tak #33 wide/Canon mount. 100% per Tak system chart.
