Yes it is a tad wide field. I think the TEC (not tried on a galaxy yet) being F7 for the same focal length may get a bit more image scale. I am thinking of getting the Baader fluorite flatfield converter to add some adjustable long focal length to the kit as an option.

You have the sky just right IMO, often guys show this way too black especially around galaxies but the sky just aint black, it's more very dark grey..like in this image!

Thanks Mike. It is tempting to simply slide the black point over to handle noise but it comes at a cost.

Thanks Rich. The FLI digital focuser made all the difference in getting it very sharp.

Thanks. Its amazing how many galaxies show up in the background of images.
