Trevor, The Baader MPCC (Multi Purpose Coma Corrector) would work wonders on the scope. They say it will give you 10 micron stars across the whole FOV. Works just as well as a Paracor but cheaper. If you buy it as the whole kit,(I did not) it comes with adapter rings to screw onto 2" Teleview EPs and a few others. So you can have coma free visual observing as well with your fast Reflector. It is only a Corrector and not a Reducer, it does not change the magnification of the scope.
Definately worth the $130. bucks.

Nice of you to say, thanks.

Mark, I see you use a Baader Coma Reducer. I have an old Sky View Deluxe f4 reflector. I won't hold you to it, but do think the reducer could help on the SVD? I looked on OPT and it says good for F4 to F6. Would really love to have an 8" f4 to play with.
