RCOS RCs are over engineered and expensive, that's why they went broke (I got mine S/H). Holding focus that well is uneccessary and not required for the amature market.

I suppose too that at long f ratios focus is less of a problem.
I believe that bad seeing actually takes the target in & out of focus anyway.
Pity that RCOS went down - some telescope versions had ion milled mirrors.
I suppose you'd need sub arc second seeing for it to make any difference?
