The Takahashi Mewlon 210 Dall-Kirkham Cassegrain only has an 18mm image circle at prime focus, and 39mm with the dedicated reducer.
Here are some images of daytime scenes taken with a Canon 6D full-frame DSLR.
Native focal length (2415mm, f/11.5)
With a Televue TRF2008 0.8X reducer/flattener for the TV85 (designed for 600mm radius of curvature) (f/9.2)
and with an Altair Astro 0.6X reducer/flattener (no longer available, but also sold by some other Europe-based sellers) (f/6.9)
I will try to get some images of a large globular like Omega Centauri when I get the chance, but the illuminated field is not bad at all (an f/4 newtonian with a Paracorr has a comparable field to the Mewlon with the 0.6X reducer!)
