[Utah-astronomy] Re: AO at the MMT Observatory

Here's a similar product from SBIG: http://www.sbig.com/sbwhtmls/ccdacc.htm#MODEL AO-7 ADAPTIVE OPTICS SYSTEM . That's an unusual URL in that you may have to cut and paste the whole thing, right out to the word "SYSTEM" into your browser. Patrick Chuck Hards wrote:

Actually, Dale, a deformable mirror star-diagonal was offered commercially several years ago....I"m not sure if it is still in production.

As I recall, it was called the "AO-2" or similar, and I think the manufacturer was something like "Stellar Products". S&T reviewed it favorably based on tests by Roger W. Sinnott..
