Scientific paper

Among the topics discussed are the status of the Multiple Mirror Telescope, (MMT) the British 4.2-m diameter telescope, the conceptual design of an 18-m aperture multimirror telescope, the performance potential of the 15-m National New Technology Telescope, the design features of a 10-m telescope for submillimeter astronomy, optical interferometry conducted with the MMT, very large optical arrays employing boule-type telescopes, the Starlab UV telescope's window photocathode, and the use of reflecting collectors for large spherical primaries. Also discussed are telescope optics, controls, and drives, the Mauna Kea site survey, atmospheric turbulence effects on large telescope image motion and size, the fabrication of 8-m honeycomb mirror blanks, passive support systems for thin mirrors, primary mirror figure control by laser autocollimation, an interferometric method for optical testing and wavefront error sensing, off-axis parabola fabrication, and actuators for a segmented mirror control system.
