The use of a three mirror combination to provide a nonrotating solar image, and to meet large European solar telescope requirements for a compact design which can operate in a vacuum enclosure is described. The primary mirror (M1) rotates about the polar axis at half the angular rate of the Earth. The secondary (M2) intercepts the beam from M1 and directs it onto M3, which is mounted behind and north of M1. The beam is thence directed towards the image forming elements of the optical system. The position of M2 can be changed without affecting the orientation and position of the exit beam.
