Abstract

MezzoCielo is a project of a monocentric optical system with a spherical glass envelope built up by meniscus arranged onto a Platonic or Fullerene-like structure filled with industrial liquid characterized by high transparency and low refractive index. Optical design of the cameras, implying the choice between large multiplexing and moderate individual field of view vs. a limited amount of cameras aiming to correct a much larger individual field of view is discussed, along with the current status of the engineering aspects of its design. A case study for such a telescope as a patrol of GW telescope in order to allow almost real-time pinpointing of the associated multimessengers potential sources is given, showing its capability to explore a unique science.
