: Hi Out there, : Does anyone know of some Ray Tracing programs : available either as shareware or not at a crazy price? : I'm working on a strange design, : and the primary is done, The blank was free, : but want to be able to make something visual from it. : It may be impossible to make anything other than a schmidt : camera from it, but i'd love to make something that can be used visually, : And be left a sphere!! I don't even want to think : of parabolizing this beast,, it has a perfect sphere : on it now,, and making it into a parabola would be a nitemare, : never mind the terrible coma I would probably get from it too. : What is it? : It is a 18" get this F 1 yep you read right a eightteen inch : f one focal length!1 UG!! Even using a standard foucault tester : on this beast is a nightmare . : Any ideas guys/gals for a format of something visual that this can : be made into? : Joe : mayen1@mwt.net I found a program that looks promising does anyone have any experience with this before I pay for the full blown version? it's at http://astronomy-mall.com/regular/products/Nova/ultra.htm it looks pretty cool actually. Joe
