Agreed....there are all sorts of things going on at the edges that I never really noticed until I put the NB filter wheel in place. Part of the problem is the stars are so tight... showing up any tilt, curvature or less than optimal spacing...which all need fixing.

Attached is 100% crop of the SII core data.... given it is 40 minutes of exposure and not a stack of "planet cam" shots...the stars are as tight as a fishy's...well..... you get the drift
