Members of the 'stats family of astronomical instruments have in common the function of feeding light from a celestial object to a fixed telescope. Particular groups are known as heliostats, siderostats, uranostats and coelostats, considerable variations in design being possible within each group. This paper explains their general construction, differences, and respective advantages, concluding with survey of those two-mirror forms currently applied to solar astronomy.
