G'day Rob,
I'm not sure how much I can tell u about using the MPCC on the refractor except that it appears to work better than the WO Field Reducer/Flattener Version III that I bought with the 'scope.
I did need to use a tele-extender in combination with the MPCC to get focus.
I stopped using the Wo flattener cause;
1. was not happy as it did not give me a flat field,
2. it exhibited a fair degree of coma,
3. stars around edges of image were stigmatic (i think that's the correct description - the stars look like a Cross + rather than a Round star).
So yes, the MPCC actually works and seems to give better images! By "better" I mean flatter!
regards
