A corrector design using active vase mirrors that allows a fixed telescope to access a large region of the sky
Abstract
We investigate whether a three-mirror system, having secondary and the tertiary mirrors with surfaces warped by Zernike polynomials generated by active vase mirrors, is suitable to do the corrections of a fixed parabolic mirror observing at large angles from the zenith. We obtain designs of correctors with remarkable images and control of the distortion of the field of the view contained within a field greater than 15 Deg.
