Scientific paper

An optical table telescope design was adapted to develop a lightweight, low-cost, 10-m segmented-mirror telescope with a prime focus of f/1.75. A large, round, monolithic primary mirror is also possible. The advantages of this design include easy access to the primary mirror and quick replacement of secondary and sky baffle assemblies. An altazimuth mounting, where the gravity vector remains in a vertical plane through the structure, is used.
