Probably due....

  • Zerodur optics.
  • Temperature controlled, zero focus tilt, secondary mirror focuser.
  • Auto-thermally controlled OTA cooling fans.
  • Guide chip next to the imaging chip in the same camera head.
  • imaging in a dome = no wind buffetting
....some boofheads would say "but it's so expensive" ...and they'd be right

...but hey, to make an omelette, you may have to break some eggs

As to how many you break...well...
