...you have a Schupmann with perfect color correction and very close to a perfect MTF curve.

Oh man, oh man, Dave...those spot diagrams...the talk of the Schupmann...you are killing me!
It almost makes me want to learn to push glass. Let's see...initially learn by making a 4.5" f/12 in Schupmann... then maybe move up to a 12"...
That is were I started about 1 1/2 years ago and now I'm working on a 9 1/2" and very portable 4" f/12 "star party scope". Making one wasn't nearly as difficult as I thought it would be and it has exceded my expectations in image quality, plus it cost me less then $200 to make.
