Determination of Nodal Aberration Field Locations from Measured Performance Data for Large Operational Astronomical Telescopes

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Methods for efficiently locating the nodal positions for astigmatism in astronomical telescopes are presented. Results will show how many field points need to be measured, dependent on the system aberration correction state and required alignment tolerances.
