I always get a good chuckle out of folks spending megabucks on small
scopes. Heck, for $100K, one could get a binocular 1 meter telescope made
up! And, I mean a true one with 2 1m mirrors, and Carl Zambuto to figure
them to 0.99 strehl! Then, if you wanted to simulate the views thru the
AP, just stop it down to 20cm. He he.
