Pupil Mapping in 2-D for High-Contrast Imaging
... The basic idea of pupil mapping is that the uniform intensity of starlight falling on the input pupil of a telescope can be mapped, ray by ray, to a non-uniform intensity in an exit pupil, such that the image of a star will be highly concentrated with minimal sidelobes. The goal is to reduce the sid ...

However, they fade quickly, often lasting only minutes. Consequently, PROMPT was built to be fast, not big. In 2005, UNC undergraduate Josh Haislip a ...

Optical telescope
An optical telescope is a telescope that gathers and focuses light, mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, to create a magnified image for direct view, or to make a photograph, or to collect data through electronic image sensors.There are three primary types of optical telescope: refractors, which use lenses (dioptrics) reflectors, which use mirrors (catoptrics) catadioptric telescopes, which combine lenses and mirrorsA telescope's light gathering power and ability to resolve small detail is directly related to the diameter (or aperture) of its objective (the primary lens or mirror that collects and focuses the light). The larger the objective, the more light the telescope collects and the finer detail it resolves.People use telescopes and binoculars for activities such as observational astronomy, ornithology, pilotage and reconnaissance, and watching sports or performance arts.
