Anyone have an experience with Baader's coma corrector?
I'm thinking of matching it up to a Hyperion 24mm and my China 32mm 70 degree EP for my 10" f/4.7 DOB.

I have the Baader coma corrector, and it works as advertised. I use it with a 12.5 inch PortaBall. I first tried Tele Vue's Visual Paracorr, but it required more back focus than the PortaBall has available (plus it was pretty heavy when combined with big eyepieces).

The Baader is not as convenient to use as the Tele Vue coma corrector, but the Baader does not require additional back focus on the PortaBall, and adds very little weight to each eyepiece.
