[ATM] Re: ATM Roddier Cell Measuring

Hi all,

>The Roddier program appears to be working fine, although it's a beta
>version. They are claiming less than 1/20 wave test accuracy .

I did not use the program yet, but contacted the authors
to get advise about the use of the program IN THE SHOP. After
all, measuring the parabola at ROC, you expect a particular,
well defined error on the wavefront.

They said yes, it could work, however the program may 
become lost if the wavefront is too many waves off.
Obviously that would be interesting to test in practice.

Another question to the community and particularly
to those who accessed the page: do you manage well the page
in French, or would you gain much if it were translated?

I proposed the authors, but they said it could still
change, and besides there were a few more urgent pages,
so I did the page about optical quality
http://astrosurf.com/altaz/qualitoptique.htm
which is still under review.

Clear skies,

Hugues
