No need it has been done - see https://www.telescope-optics.net/SCT...tions.htm#than

Bottom line is that the classic Meade/Celestron SCT is relatively insensitive to decentering errors (ie lateral shift) of corrector + secondary. What it IS sensitive to is a tilt error in the secondary - as every SCT owner will know.
