ATM Astrographs

["Wagner,Rick [NCR]" <Rick.Wagner2@ec.gc.ca>]

Tom Krajci:
I am just getting thru a few old ATM-list digests which I was unable to read
over my holidays and found your mention of your 6"/3.75 astrograph.  Is it a
home-made job?  If so can you describe to us the optical configuration,
design etc.  I have been figuring a 10"/3.5 sphere intending to try it out
as a Waineo null, but then working it into a hyperbolic astrograph.  I
started playing around with optical design software (KDP) at one point and
wasn't getting anywhere fast enough to justify spending a whole lot of time
on it then (other scopes to build and a family to support and tend to, you
know the kind of thing).  I would be interested to know what you, or others
who have developed such systems, did.

Thanks
