Excellent! This is great because we can virtually trade back and forth with images. I'll try and capture this as soon as I can and we can compare. I've got a 350D modified, the only thing I lack right now is the coma corrector, but I'll take a crack at it again any way.
I'll post the shot I took that wasn't Long Term from last year. It doesn't look bad, just not nearly as much nebulosity got captured.

I still have a touch of coma but I really won't be able to tell for sure until I set up a real adapter from the SCT thread to the 2" eyepiece. I just used a make-shift adapter from the base of my 2" barlow but it does not thread correctly. I ordered the proper adapter yesterday. I am taking the scope to Puerto Rico on vacation in a couple of weeks and hope to have things set up before then. I am really pleased with it.

Hey Joe,
Didn't anyone ever tell you, you can't take pictures like this during the full Moon!
Hope to see you at the monthly meeting tomorrow.

Speaking of that monthly meeting, I need to dig up that application that was sent to me, fill it out and send it in so I may some day join you kind folks.
Do either of you attend Stellafane?
