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

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

Could it photograph the Moon landing sites and put an end to the Moon landing hoax conspiracy folk...mmm probably not as they would only say those photos were faked...nevertheless I wonder if it could...

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)

Absolutely incredible technology. Can't wait to see what it produces.
