Paying for a CC to resolve coma is not the issue, the issue is having unnecessary extra weight on the mount ( like a counter weight ) when post processing may tidy up the image.

I use Startools as well and would be keen to learn how to get coma out of images. My 6“ has a 1.25“ focuser and i cannot find a CC for it. Eventually i want to upgrade and get a CC but meanwhile it would be nice to be able to Post process the coma out. So if you could share a workflow that would be great.
