Just some extra detail on the manufacture of the optics.

They are a dream as the secondary is spherical instead of hyperbolic and the primary is typically 70% the aspheric correction of a Newt and 60% of an RC so much less work . The corrector lenses are not difficult to make as they are all spherical surfaces. Theoretically at least the surfaces should be smoother than an RC due to less corrective polishing.
