    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestron

    Celestron was the first large scale commercial manufacturer of the Schmidt-Cassegrain telescope, introducing its "C8" 8" diameter 2032 mm focal length, ƒ10 telescope in 1970. [7] The primary innovation Celestron/Tom Johnson devised was a method to produce Schmidt corrector plates using a vacuum to pull the glass blanks into a pre-shaped curve ...

The original English fork design is disadvantaged in that it does not allow the telescope to point too near the north or south celestial pole.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Active_optics

    Active optics is a technology used with reflecting telescopes developed in the 1980s, [1] which actively shapes a telescope's mirrors to prevent deformation due to external influences such as wind, temperature, and mechanical stress. Without active optics, the construction of 8 metre class telescopes is not possible, nor would telescopes with ...
