====ACF telescopes====
ACF (''Advanced Coma-Free'') is an altered version of the Meade's previous schmidt-cassegrain telescopes that replaces the traditional spherical schmidt-cassegrain [[secondary mirror]] with a hyperbolic secondary mirror.  In the new design the [[Catadioptric system#Full aperture correctors|full aperture corrector]] is slightly altered in shape and combined with a spherical [[primary mirror]].<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kszsAxOHym0C&q=meade+advanced+coma-free+primary+spherical&pg=PA65 |title=Rod Mollise, ''Choosing and Using a New CAT: Getting the Most from Your Schmidt Cassegrain'', page 65 |isbn=9780387097725 |access-date=November 20, 2011|last1=Mollise |first1=Rod |date=February 28, 2009 |publisher=Springer }}</ref> Meade's literature describes their ACF as a variation on the [[Ritchey-Chrétien telescope]], although it does not use the two hyperbolic mirror combination in that design (being more of an ''aplantic'' design).<ref>{{cite book|url=https://books.google.com/books?id=kszsAxOHym0C&q=meade+advanced+coma-free+primary+spherical&pg=PA65 |title=Rod Mollise, ''Choosing and Using a New CAT: Getting the Most from Your Schmidt Cassegrain'', page 59 |isbn=9780387097725 |access-date=November 20, 2011|last1=Mollise |first1=Rod |date=February 28, 2009 |publisher=Springer }}</ref>
