Hi Guys,
before I leave on friday to Hawaii with my wife to celebrate our 12 year honeymoon , I give you some food for discussion .
The trip to LZOS was mostly successfull.
While the 6"F/8 price from LZOS is way to high for quantity sales , the others are ok
we going in 2010 in production with 2 or more ndew Photo-visuell Apo's designed by italian scilled optical designer Massimo Ricardi
the system will have close to Super Apo correction, is a 4 element design, similar to FSQ . We will start with 140 mm F/5 and 150 m F/6.7 modells. The tubes will be build by LZOS with our design, otherwise LZOS cannot guarantee perfect spacing and alignment , and we build the rest of the tubes.
The design including big corrected flat field for large modern CCD , but also such perfect visuel correction, that it will work fantastic as a high power visuel apo.
Massimo will prepair now the final design with LZOS and then we enter it in december to our webside
Massimo states this design can be made up to 12" diameter and believe me we will do it :-)
Back to the 150 doublet. I did not fully gave up, I have a new idea regards manufacturing , but waiting more prices from LZOS
clear skies to you all
Markus
