Even with a fairly small chip my 1.25" filters still vignette the steep F3.8 light cone slightly, so I have a full set of Astronomik LRGBHaSIIOIII
36mm filters on the way
these will provide about 6 or 7mm more clear filter aperture, I recon this should do the trick
Any residual vignetting gradients will most likely clean up with a touch of gradient removal. In the 4 months or so of imaging with my new Starlightxpress set up I have not seen a single dust donnut, even under the notoriously extreme stretching I do for my deep field comparisons
...this Sony chip puts us in a new era of imaging, the days of the noisy SBIGs with Kodak chips are loooong gone

I guess that's the difference between a 12" with a quality CCD and an 8" with DSLR.
Still I'll have to try again on 1300, see what I can come up with.
Cheers,
Justin.
