    Abstract:

    A high performance design and optimization technique for three-mirror telescopes, based on the generation of rigorously aplanatic configurations, has been developed. The theory and five sample designs are presented. The work was done using an HP-System 35 desk-top computer.

    Design Example: Measuring Distance Between Two Points with Obstructions

    When measuring distances in areas with physical obstructions, such as a lake in a field, surveyors must employ techniques to calculate accurate lengths without direct line measurements. One effective method is the offset technique, which allows for precise distance estimation over inaccessible stretches.In this scenario, a surveyor must measure a side of an area that crosses a lake. Since the measuring tape cannot span the lake, the surveyor begins by establishing a baseline that aligns with...
