About this image

I've had issues for some time with the maximum field of view I can use with this full frame camera. I have to use a ROI but the corners of the camera sensor were being clipped by the M48 attachment to the off axis guider. A change to a larger guider mechanism has now finally cured the darkening I was getting in the corners of my images with this camera, so this is the first result without that problem!
