Scientific paper

The Bowen-Vaughan telescope (1973) consisting of a Ritchey-Chretien type mirror pair with a rear aspheric plate to correct the residual astigmatism of the mirrors, is limited in performance by the chromatic difference of astigmatism of the aspheric. The use of an aspheric doublet makes it possible to achieve subarcsec imagery over a wide spectral range over field diameters from 2 to 3 deg. The performance and limitations of a range of designs are described.
