Re: [ATM] Luri-Houghton prescriptions.



Hi Bob,

You can't just set focal plane at the tube edge, you may add focuser and 
camera between them, so I assume you will have 100mm extend from the tube 
surface to the focal plane.

I helped you work out 2 sets, 1 is for equal solution, 1 is for different 
solution.
equal:

They both optimized for 400-656nm wave length photograph with 0.6 degreex2 
field illumination.
Any question please let me know, thanks!
