Star Test Result

I get a decent concentric pattern at outside focus, though a little over-corrected. But on inside focus, the image falls apart badly. This situation isn't covered on any web sites I've found. Is there anything that can be done to improve the result?

What sort of scope? Valery Deryuzhin or Aries Optics had a corrector
called a SAFIX, you could specify the amount of over/under correction of
your scope and order the matching SAFIX to rectify the problem. I think
it was intended for SCT's. They also had a thing called a Chromachor
which could fix both spherical aberation and chromatic aberation for
achro refractors (The chromachor cost more than the achro OTA but
probably still cheaper overall than a genuine APO refractor).
