Scientific paper

The Schupmann medial telescope optical design is exploited to give a low scattering device which compensates for its own chromatic aberrations and the lateral chromatic aberration of the atmosphere. The solution to the problem of star detection in the presence of a bright nonuniform sky background is discussed. The essential features of star tracking are demonstrated by tracking Polaris through sunrise with the instrument.
