Is that a crop or full size?

Did you use a flattener with the SCT, if so which one

I just trimmed off the edges of the frame after stacking as the subs were dithered, so essentially its full frame. No flattener used either as this scope gives me a flat frame with the QSI camera. I sometimes use a f6.3 Meade reducer (the Japanese made series not the Chinese made one as that was the wrong specification) at a spacing of 85mm and that also gives me a perfectly flat frame with the QSI.

Thanks Rick, but its a matter of necessity as its where the observatory is.
