All the errors that showed up in these tests were attributed to these labs' own very fine reference
mirrors, as the strehl tests revealed my mirror to be much brighter than either lab's fine reference mirror.
Imagine what I can do with my production method, and a "state-of-the-art" optical bench.
I can do plenty, and with today's high reflectance coatings and
my new "Transparent Spider", this telescope
will startle the Astronomical Community with its brilliant performance.
This is a highly critical design that requires a true parabolic reflector, - not an approximation of
one. It also requires very low Wavefront Errors in all of
its optical components, which rules out today's mass production methods. This is the telescope
I have been working towards since 1958 with the development of both my improved mirror and its
Neutral Corrector Plate companion. I make seven models of this telescope design: One cameraless
10" f: 5. 4 model MN10M0K0F54T, another 10" f: 5. 4 model
MN10M1K3F54T with a Class 3 ST-8XEI ccd camera set, and five 12"
f: 4. 0 models featuring different ccd camera sets.
