This is a spot diagram of what an e.g. 8 inch F8 Ritchey Chretien is supposed to perform like off axis. It's from page 68 of Telescope Optics by Rutten and Venrooij.
I see no coma at all but there is the strongest Field Curvature of any Cassegrain design, (without the ACF coating), plus some astigmatism, but the star images are pretty round a long way off axis (that's why professional astronomers use RC's, since they like to measure the Star images and round images are easier to measure).
