Scientific paper

Mirror-reflecting telescopes with large openings are examined, similar to those used in the first third of the century. The characteristics of constructive solutions and advancing telescopic technology are discussed, including the optical system, the reflecting or mirroring materials, and the controls and machinery involved. Attention is given to the newly developed multimirror telescope that employs the use of six parabolic mirrors linked together through a laser-servosystem. The development of the light receiving detectors is also discussed, and a look is taken at the present Calar Alto Observatory.
