Absolutely mind blowing!

And we struggle to get that kind of optical correction on a 44mm circle

Amazing

"Over 10 years, the camera will collect images of about 20 billion galaxies."

...and even more images of Starlink Satellites.. ..

Its not a high resolution setup. BIG camera on a big telescope but it’s for doing entire sky surveys.

But the Vera C Rubin installation will have 0.2"/pixel, which isn't bad for 3.5 degree FOV! (optic train will be f/1.23)
