Thanks Geoff, yeah, bit like mould huh?
Nah, actually, looking at images for while will often affect first impressions, so... I'm glad you stared for long enough to be softened a little

How are you getting such a wide field (1.8 x 1.8 deg) of view from that 12"? Is that CCD one of those big 50 x 50mm ones? Still, that's a huge light cone for a 12 inch scope. Does it have much vignetting with that field?

Not quite, it is the 16803 chip which is 37mm X 37mm so at 1120mm FL it is a big field
