Sadly it is rather hit an miss in finding a camera lens for astrophotography
with minimal coma and no CA.

I did this write-up a while back on the subject.

APO scopes often have excellent CA but unless they have a dedicated field flattener you may find the off-axis result is not what you hoped for.

The William Optics Redcat/SpaceCat series of lenses are however beautifully corrected across the entire frame of a 35mm but while very impressive for sharpness, they are a little on the slow side as F-numbers go.

Interestingly the likes of Canon are lifting their game with their EOS-R series lenses...not cheap, but their new designs show great promise.
