Hi Mark,

They added this line:
"The RCX design is very similar to the Classical RC and achieves the
same benefits by using a hyperbolic secondary with a new advanced front
corrector plate and primary mirror that together perform as a hyperbolic
primary."

Of course, the rest of the world would still call that an aspherical SCT
and not an R-C

So they are being slightly more honest now that they were caught. It
reminds me of StupendousVue's "EDT" nonsense.
