Astrosib
Ritchey-Chretien telescopes have been designed as photographic instruments and offer the widest abberation-free field of any reflecting telescope. This is achieved by using hyperbolic mirrors, that are very difficult to manufacture and control due to their aspheric nature. For decades these insruments have been the choice of the observatories. Beacause of the difficulties associated with manufacture only a handful of companies in the world make such telescopes. One of them is the Russian Astrosib headed by Anton Saveliev. The company has been producing Ritchey-Chretien systems for more than 10 years.
