Hmmmm,has got me thinking.
These telescope still use glass to form the basic shape of the mirror. But it is the reflective coating which is actually the mirror. (true?)
The current size of premium home telescopes with a glass based would not be flexibile enough. So either the size of premium home telescopes must go up or a different base material is used which has the required ability to hold its shape and be flexible for the adaptive optics to work.
Either scenario is quite possible and even probable.
