| Abstract
|
:
|
"This book presents astronomical optical systems in the simplest form, with an emphasis on clear explanations of the ideas that underpin various systems. At the same time, it explains the deep connection between classical and contemporary telescopes, as well as the continuity of ideas for telescope construction. A number of new designs are described, including those recently proposed and those already operational, that provide a previously unattainable field of view"--
