I recently acquired a LX200 GPS that i have deforked . The scope was well taken care of and. The optics are in very good condition. I've experienced some coma in the corners using my IMX 571 sensor. Stars in the center of the field or pinpoint. Has anyone else experienced this?  There isn't much documentation on the LX200 GPS online. I'm not using the corrector but plan to get the Starizona SCT corrector.. so far, Blur Xterminator eliminates the issue. But I would like to not have to rely on that if possible. A good friend of mine suggested it could be backspacing. But from what i understand without using corrector that would not be the issue..  Thank you very much.

That's pretty normal for a classical SCT, as the meade is.

just to add - your fine- the starizona will help immensely - i had a non edge had a c11 and the starizona sct corrector made it as good as an edge

Welcome to classic SCT land. With my old Meade, coma was there even with a 585 sensor at prime. The Starzona unit will fix you right up.
