As an example of what image size you should be able to get with your scope, check out this pic taken with an 8" SCT with 6.3 reducer with an Apogee 16 megapixel CCD. Various sensor sizes are indicated, your camera would be the third size out (or third size in), and you should be getting very minimal vignetting with your 350D.
Kal - excellent! no need to purchase another reducer! thanks for this post!

The reducer is ok with my CCD, so I reckon its the spacing. I estimate that its sitting about 80mm away from the chip. Too close I'd say?
