How do the APM extender with coma correction compare with the Televue Powermates?  I use the 2" 2x Powermate and it does well for me.

I don’t know, I just order APM extender 1.5X, I share with you my comments. You can connect camera, OAG or filter wheels un the Televue powermate 2”?

Yes ... the Televue Powermate 2" has a 48mm male thread so you can connect camera, OAG, and Filter Wheels/Holder
Concise

Hmmm, I don't think it will correct the coma caused by a Newtonian, it's "just" an extender, good for Sun, Moon and planets but not for Deep Sky imaging.
