This idea may be of interest. http://spie.org/x92905.xml
A gravity adjusted liquid dispersion corrector would eliminate the fussy adjustments associated with prisms plus be easy to construct. Perhaps there's an entrepreneur out there looking for a project.

Hi All,

Just an input on the "Atmospheric Dispersion Corrector", this accessory
is well known in the small community of planetary imagers.

I use that one and it really makes a difference for HR imaging :

Hi All,



What made it possible to see it visually was a little known accessory that Valery Deryushin (Aries Optics) sent me some years back. This is a special mirror diagonal with a variable prism that can be tuned to exactly cancel out the atmospheric refraction, which is quite noticeable at that low altitude.
