As a CC, with VERY long focal lengths...
Make the focal length long enough and the radius of the curved field becomes so long that the field curvature peters out to nearly flat at the illuminated area.
Now at f/3, this is as a Newtonian, so the appropriate coma corrector would need to be used to produce a flat field for photo.
Parks still makes three dual focal length Newt/Cassegrain scopes:
Parks 10" f/4 & f/15 HIT Superior System OTA can be had without mount.
Parks 12.5" f/4 & f/12 HIT Superior System OTA can be had without mount.
Parks 16" f/4 & f/12.5 HIT OTA
