Yep....use the Meade .33 FF on any ACF scope and you'll be instantly moving at Warp 9

The stars trail out like you've just jumped to hyperspace. The 0.67 corrector is better suited but still not the best. I think Meade didn't consider that anyone would use the ACF scopes at anything but the native FL. They should've developed a corrector for them, but haven't. Optec apparently make a corrector for aplanatic scopes (both the ACF and EdgeHD) but I'm not sure if it's any good though.
