Re: [ATM] Mersenne (was : Looking for information on a telescopedesign)



Doesn't it make much more sense to forget about the Mersenne 
configuration and use a standard Cassegrain format in a Naysmyth layout 
and bring out the focus through the altitude trunnion.  Fewer optical 
surfaces is always better for image quality and alignment.  The only 
real reason to use the Mersenne is if you must have a relatively fast 
system with less obstruction.
