I agree with VinSnr. A good dew/glare shield will help improve the contrast.

You should have got that dewshield even before you use your C8. In fact, a flexible dewsheild should be a complusory item for any SCT owners.

Not only it keep away dew and glare, it also minimise dust and dirt from settling onto your corrector.
