The Helix looks like a Tarantula. ;)

The 4" focuser would have no problem illuminating a 35mm sensor, yeah?

If only the funds allowed... :)

Ha, well spotted H, thank you, and corrected.
Yes, the standard W/O 4" is huge and would cover the 35mm size without too many problems. There is a dedicated flattener as well, the "Flat68" which is a god-send for this. Sorts out the field as it should do. In my case the camera I use is 2048 pixels square and I don't see any coma in the corners so haven't used the Flat68. For the Sony DSLR I do use it though.

A good price for this OTA. I use the same scope with the Flat68 and a full sized 35mm STL11K camera; it fills the STL's main chip no problems and becomes nice and flat.
