Good advice from Lee.

here is an old image taken through a GSO 8 inch f4 without CC. In this seeing, coma is readily visible at less than 10 arcminutes from the centre.

Also agree that getting a coma corrected fast Newtonian to work properly can be a headache, particularly on a bendy OTA like the GSO. Maybe a CC corrected f5 Newtonian could be a slightly better bet - could be a good match to the pixel size of your 294 and with a good CC it could be effectively free of major aberrations.

Cheers Ray
