Scientific paper

We present an analysis of the optical model for HST and ACS that shows the possible impact of misalignments of various optical elements on apparent image aberrations. The analysis was aimed at identifying possible causes for apparent variations in coma and astigmatism seen on orbital time scales in HST images. Results indicate that any combinations of mirrors and motions that reproduce the observed coma and astigmatism changes, also predict either large shifts in the image, which is not observed, or require unrealistically large movements of the elements.
