Any advantage?

Hello:

Just wondering if there would be any advantage to using a flattener/corrector while imaging Jupiter with a 9.25sct, dbk21 and powermate 2.5x?

Thank you

Absolutely none whatever. The DMK has a tiny chip that will not tax the edge-of-field of any telescope, and on that tiny chip will be tiny Jupiter! Besides, most SCT flatteners are also reducers and reducing the FL is not at all what you want to do.
