Re: How Good a Secondary is needed?

Agree - without posting up a bunch of supporting ZEMAX analysis and/or quoting Suiter, I can tell you with certainty that diagonal curvature more than 1/10 wave P-V is enough to generate astigmatism at high powers. 1/20 wave P-V in fused silica so it keeps it shape in changing temps is the way to go.
