Widefields are good for that sort of thing. Also seeing how objects fit in to the surrounding environment.

Cheers Mike. Yes in a widefield like this you are only going to see a few wonky stars by pixel peeping but we all like our stars to be round in the corners. A bit of cropping or a bit of time sorting out some tilt will handle it. On my ML16 I have it sorted and am getting nice sand like specks of stars and round to the corners. Not sure if the Proline 16803 will make it round to the corners - I doubt it and its not specified to be able to either.
I agree we can obsess sometimes about star roundness and take it too far.
Greg.

Smaller sensors will have an easy time of it. This image was with a full frame sensored camera 36x 24mm I think it is.
Correcting for a bit of tilt has become standard practice for me anyway.
