But seriously- how do you get feedback for correcting a planetary image?
Analyzing a point source for distortion is one thing; analyzing the
wavefront of an extended object is something else altogether.

Also, you have to view your market in terms of imagers and viewers. The
former can get equivalent results with a webcam very inexpensively. So
the real question is how many visual observers will shell out some
serious money to sharpen up a few planets? I don't know... maybe a lot
will, just a question (the question, no doubt, that you are asking
yourself).
