You don't need to do it for me Bert.

CCDInspector is a terse tool. It really only provides relative data, but can clearly steer you in the right direction.

The flattest-field of of any scope I've ever used is that of the AP155 with 4" field corrector... and even it shows a shallow (6%) tilt with my 16803 Sensor based CCD. I found myself chasing my tail trying the shim the system, as gravity, as always, won.
