Wide field telescope using spherical mirrors
... We present a concept for a fully steerable, quasi-Cassegrain telescope, which uses concentric spherical surfaces for the primary mirror, secondary mirror, and focal surface. By symmetry, there are no field aberrations, only spherical aberration which is constant in the field. We correct the spherica ...
