Optical performance studies for the MezzoCielo Telescope.

Optical performance studies on the fisrt 80cm prototype for the MezzoCielo Telescope. This prototype aims to prove the feasability for this new kind of telescope. The study consists in: Characterization of the beam exiting the 80cm sphere. Modelling of different disperion curves for the refractive liquid within uncertainties. Effect of the modelled dispersion on the optical performance. Determination of the precision needed for the refractive liquid characterization to retain accepable performances. Study of the throughput of the system.
