Yes, it was used in a 25" f5 without coma corrector.

Being aware that no eyepiece (other than the pretoria) corrects for coma, i understand the nature of the aberrations visibile off-axis. With respect to the Nav; if there was any contribution to the comatic plume inherent in to a Newtonian of f/d=5, it was in no way obvious.

I would have to inspect the field aberations of the NAV in an anastigimatic OTA to venture a judgement wrt its overall correction.

My gut feeling is that it is very good.
