I upgraded from from a Canon DSLR to an ASI1600mm. I do get halos (particularly with narrowband) but that's down to the camera/filters, not the OTA ( this as an example). I can strongly recommend an Esprit.

Hi Kevin,
Overall quite good but there is significant coma in the corners. This was with the flattener? It should have corrected that. Perhaps the spacing is off but I thought they sold these scopes with the flattener fitted for the right spacing?
Also your sensor is very small so it would be way worse with a full frame camera.
