3CCD Video cameras have been out for a while...I am surprised by the Olympus patent app for what has been for over a decade a (video) industry standard....but who knows?

I have two telescopes with fairly wide *and* flat fields..Taka FSQ and AP155 (4" field flattner).....my RCOS is OK....AP130 less so...I'd love to know what else is out there. (Don't say CDK's IMHO they don't cut it)
