One day perhaps a 10inch scope. Just what I need for my HEQ5. :eyepop:

Yes I saw that article. It has implications for telescopes. Imagine APO performance from a single lens.

Yet to be proven in use of course but exciting prospects. Roland Christen would be very interested in that. He's been a major pioneer and proponent of the APO tripklet.

Or it could be used to act as any arbitrary high order aspheric (schmidt plate for example)
