The Starizona SCT Corrector IV - 0.63 Reducer Coma Corrector is advertised as the best reducer / coma corrector on the market. Does anyone have experience with this corrector in comparison to the standard C8 Celestron corrector (used on the C8, not EdgeHD)? Using the Starizona corrector, will the coma be corrected “close” to the EdgeHD (up to APS-C Sensor)?
Thanks, Rob
Well written Engaging

I have an older model (SCT Corrector II) and used to have a "stock" reducer/corrector for my C9.25. The difference is night and day.

Is it up to EdgeHD levels? Not sure, I think the EdgeHD still outperforms it, but it is closer to the EdgeHD than the vanilla reducer for sure.

Thanks a lot. Yes, I thought that my comment "close to HD" would push it...
