I've been looking through recent posts on the forum where someone might have has the same, but all I can find is coma problems in Newtonians? And here a come corrector lens is suggested Arif, not sure if it will help your problem in a refracting telescope? (Click here for some info)

Advice/suggestions it would be appreciated.
Attached is a low res of what I get. Mine also seem to be worse upper right corner, although upper left also sucks.

Hi Tanja

Yours looks like coma problem if you are not using fieldflatener. I am using refractor and I also see people are using fieldflannter with refractor. I just want to confirm if my problem related to that.

I have taken image of NGC5139 with antares f/6.3 reducer/flattener with Celestron C8 SCT. You can see there is no coma effect.
