Hey everybody, I have been having some bad thoughts recently and I've been going down the rabbit hole looking for options for a fast, full-frame-capable Newtonian solution. I have concluded that I want to make it even harder on myself by doing a custom build. However, I am struggling to find a coma corrector that will actually support full frame. If you know of any, especially if you have real-world results that fit this bill and/or raw data to back up the performance on FF (CMOS 3.76um px specifically) please let me know!

Thanks all,
Charlie

ASA, TV, TS, Ricardi.

Incidentally, there is nothing special about a FF coma corrector except requirements of illumination and size.
