@stevechesley I'm currently in Nice working with the Gaia team to produce ADES format for the Gaia data. The design subelement under the telescope element only allows 25 characters. They would like to write "Off-axis three-Mirror Anastigmat", which is 32 characters. Can we change the length of the allowed characters to 35 or something similar? They could go down to 28 characters if they use 'Off-axis 3-Mirror Anastigmat'. Let me know what you think.

Thanks!

One option is to say "off-axis TMA," which is a pretty common abbreviation for "Three-Mirror Anastigmat." If that's not satisfactory then bumping the field size to 32 char seems to be reasonable as well. I have a long trip starting tomorrow, and so I can't get to this until mid-April. I can do it then unless you want to open a branch yourself and do it sooner. Shouldn't be difficult.

Hi @stevechesley this is actually a very good suggestion. Let me propose it to the team and if they agree there's nothing we need to change. Otherwise I can try and change it by myself. Have a nice trip!

They agreed with the proposed solution. Thanks @stevechesley.
