Just trying to work out what acessories I would need to at least get going with it (currently thinking scope + collimator).

Thanks in advance!

Hi Murray
Yes my 6” f6 still suffered from coma in the edges so I took advice from many APers and bought a Baader MCCP Mk3 coma corrector, fixed the issue on my 6” f6 and 8” f5
These work down to f3.9
They cost a bit but are light weight , quality optics and screw straight into your Nikon or Canon t ring adapter. You can even screw filters on the end of it
I use a ZWO Duoband filter in my Baader CC for my ZWO2600MC cooled OSC camera
Cheers
Martin
