On the subject of 1/100 wave optics. Some questions I would ask:
Are these optics mechanically supported in such a way that preserves the original figure of revolution at all alt angles?
Is the mirror substrate temperature actively controlled to within 0.1 degree of ambient? how is boundary layer turbulence managed? Is the primary mirror baffle flushed to disrupt the chimney effect?
I hope you see my point. ...
