Surely it would defeat the exercise if the curved plate was facing outward.

The deflection in the glass is in the order of 1/1000th of an inch at 80% off the center or so. It's virtually flat. The only way to identify which side is wich would be to put the corrector flat on a turning table and bounce a laser on it. Celestron used to mark the edges of the glass with a ">" sign to indicate which side faces outwards. Years ago I was talking to R.Piekiel and asked the same question, which side in. He said he saw both. Even correctors with profiles on both sides in the early models. I tried both sides on my C11 and it didn't make the slightest difference.
You have to remove the secondary to install an hyperstar cell.
