You're right Geoff. If you look at the photos, you can see a considerable field stop at the eyepiece end (image 1) and also at the end that goes into the star diagnal (image 2). You can also see in the 2nd image that the prism doesn't cover the whole area remaining after the field stop anyway. Both field stops give a clear aperture of about 2 cm.
