Good luck with your project, Bojan!

By the way, the scintillation effect that I mentioned is due to the corrector plate being distorted in many different directions, so the photons were being scattered in all sorts of directions. Two things were the consequence:

1, if seeing was not perfect, then this was exacerbated with the photons being thrown around in every direction, so the image appeared to vibrate and shimmer beyond what seeing does;

2, the image will not focus sharp at high magnification - it can't, the figure of the optics is stuffed so the photons are not all going where they are supposed to.

Alex.
