Bojan it is too late to patent even if I wanted to as it is now in the public domain. I would be interested to see how this works at shorter focal lengths for real wide fields. Too much to do and not enough clear skies. I am retired now and do not ever want to go through the patent process again. Even with a patent a big rich company can send you broke by eternal litigation. Unless you have deep pockets it is better not to patent. Just keep quiet and die with the secret.
My ethos is to put back in as much as I can into the astronomical community as I have taken far more than I can ever give back.
That last set of images really shows what is happening without invoking any mathematics. I always knew the 300mm lens was better than my sensor. In hindsight the solution is now obvious. It was just a matter of the getting the correct tools and skills.
