I use the prototype as a test bed and the first production unit went into a fully automated observatory in Terip Terip, Victoria.

Images look very good Stefan Might be something protruding light path in a non-uniform way a tiny bit. Just to clarify - I am aware that there is a secondary

Is there a hope for a mini production happening sometime in the future?

Hi Slavomir,

SN002 should be finished this coming spring and most likely two more will follow next year.

Regarding the star images produced by SN001: The Strehl ratio I achieved is only 0.9 because there were problems with the glass I used. I intend to replace the optics in that scope.
For SN000 I used old Pyrex and achieved a Strehl of 0.96
