Congratulations Francisco - we look forward to reading your impressions with the new mount. Very exciting news!

On the topic of Active Optics, assuming perfect tracking and negligible flex in the telescope, I’m curious whether Active Optics help to tighten stars across the entire sensor, especially when combined with a larger aperture telescope and a large sensor, since prism corrections are made for a star that is outside of the light beam hitting the sensor.

To put it more clearly - it would be good to know an approximate size of the circle that benefits from Active Optics around the star that is being measured and corrected for atmospheric turbulences.
