I have a reducer/flattener and with the 490EX, the plate scale is 0.97 arcsec/px, the field of view works out to just under 55’ x 44’.

I took this image just to get some data.  I had not been able to use the scope since March I don’t think.  Not very good processing, but I didn’t want to spend anymore time on it at the moment.

Very good, Willie

The ion tail is clearly visible at the 10 o'clock position.
