Not elitist at all, just simple the simple physics of mirrors bouncing all wavelengths of light equally, without becoming opaque at the extremes like lenses

Nah, the price of a cryogenically cooled camera for really deep I/R put me off a bit.

Maybe I can paint GT stripes down the side



P.S
Killing time at Oslo airport at present for a loooong flight home....
