More egg shaped stars -Orion EON 80-QHY8
Attached is the first image taken with my Orion EON 80 and QHY8. The coma was easily fixed by cropping the image which was probably necessary anyway.
In order to preserve the full view I'm hoping a Field flattener will correct the coma.Besides the Baader MPCC there are at least three field flatteners that might be suitable.

It seems that the distance between the CCD and the reducer flange is critical.
Please, can anyone recommend which will work best. (if at all)
