Hi Folks:

I have a 16-1/2" dia. F-2.5 spherical Cassegrain-style (hole in the middle)
mirror, and I'm wondering if there are any off-the-shelf combinations of
field flattener and CCD camera with which it could easily be used as a
Schmidt camera? I'm thinking in particular about Celestron's Fastar
equipment. I guess the trick would be finding a field flattener that works
with an F-2.5 sphere. Any suggestions would be appreciated.
