I have been wondering if somehow fluid lenses could be used for adaptive

Jan,

I don't think actuation is a critical problem, more like others have
said, AO for astronomy is light starved and needs to be high speed.
Yes, I think fluid lenses have the high speed, maybe it could be build
in the eyepiece... integrated with a chip to activate it?
As to the light losses, OK, did I see f2.8 to f1.4 on a site?
