« Le champ de vision de nos télescopes ne dépasse pas encore 1 degré, explique Ermanno Borra. Mais nous travaillons sur des correcteurs à grand champ qui nous permettront d'obtenir un champ de vision de 45 degrés, la moitié de celui d'un télescope conventionnel. » Les télescopes à miroirs liquides pourraient ainsi accéder à une région du ciel beaucoup plus grande.
