Very sharp Peter, the core and dusty regions look fantastic!

On the RHS of the image the stars don't look quite perfect, is this the collimation you're referring to? Or is that a small amount of field curvature?
Thanks for the feedback.

I think there are a couple of things going on, but field curvature is not one of them. I suspect a smidge of camera tilt correction and further collimating is required (16803 chips are very unforgiving).

That said, I'm finding the systems ability to resolve filagree details to be quite remarkable
