That's why I asked! The field wasn't totally flat, but I only notice the 'trailing' towards the corners on the bottom. I was wondering was it the fast curvature of the mirror or not. :)

Yeah, probably due to sensor tilt. CFZ is focal ratio X pixel size. For me that is F4 X 7.4 = 0.03mm. So it does not take much of a tilt to show. Make me think I should be looking for a new focuser.
