Yes, thats the obvious thing to do.  Especially with a Schmidt camera that
does not have a secondary on the corrector to clue you as to which way it
goes.  But my question was to find out which way the figured side of the
corrector really goes since my reference books show it both ways.  The
diagram in one of them is in error.  The curved surface on the corrector is
so slight you can't see with the eye, so I am curious as to which way it
really goes.
