Does Astro-Physics plan to produce any larger telescopes?
We have been researching alternative optical designs for larger aperture instruments. Specifically, we have been evaluating and testing prototypes of various compound optical systems like Maksutov-Cassegrains and Maksutov-Newtonians. The glasses used for these instruments are more commonly available in large blanks of high-quality than apochromatic refractor glass types. If you wish to be informed about possible future production of these instruments, please give us a call or drop us a line. We do not have any specific information available at this time.
