I don't know if it's worth a flattener or not?

Its just more for the sake of perfection than anything else. I have been advised about some software that will deal with the corners so I will give that a go.

You've encouraged us to clean our primary mirror (which is looking alarming. Perhaps that will help with our contrast too.

I noted that my images were starting to suffer from what looked like progressive fogging over the course of a night. So one task was to eliminate all the possible causes of this occurrence. So far this seems like this was the problem.

Top of the image corners show a tad more elongation than the bottom so I'd say you need to pack out the bottom of your camera a tad (.2mm). A bit of brass shim should even it out.

This might well be the crop I used Greg. I have some shims but have found another issue looming where it looks like using the rotator is causing some tilt. I suspect something is not housed properly and will need a bit of a look in the coming weeks.

Looking forward to the completed project Paul.

I did likewise Suavi prior to posting my image. I noted that your image was quite sharp at the time of viewing it and was curious as to whether my image was of the same sharpness.
