I read on another forum and saw some images taken with a smallish refractor (WO 66) and MPCC +QHY8, the results were very good. Apparently the MPCC has the added effect of not reducing the focal length. I believe it Was Eddie Trimarchi, (where the hell are you Eddie??)

Hi all,
We had our first clear night in months a couple of weeks ago during new moon. Perfect time to test out this new little scope with my recently repaired 6mp one shot colour camera.
This camera really tests out any optics and has already brought down every optic I own. It's so wide that virtually none of my lenses/scopes can satisfy it's edge-of-field demands. That is until I put a Baader multi-purpose coma corrector on the WO66. The performance really surprised me after many hours of testing different configurations! Even though the MPCC is designed for newtonians, it really does an excellent job on the little refractor.

I'd be very curious to see the results with an ED80.
