Scientific paper

The Multiple Mirror Telescope (MMT) employs six 1.8-m diameter folded-Cassegrain telescopes whose light collection area is equivalent to that of a single 4.5-m diameter aperture when images are brought to a common focus and coaligned. This is accomplished in the MMT by tilting the secondary mirrors in orthogonal axes. The MMT has undergone rebuilding of the optical configuration elements used to sense image positions at the focal plane, so that image stacking, automatic guiding, and star acquisition are simultaneously fully operational.
