The basic concept and fundamental result of a recently developed geometric aberration theory for classical off-axis reflecting telescopes and imaging systems are presented. It is shown that a classical off-axis reflecting telescope can be designed to have practically axially-symmetric optical property by eliminating the dominant aberration (linear astigmatism) caused by the asymmetric geometry. A simple closed-form equation for elimination of linear astigmatism is presented. Also, to show how the developed aberration theory can be applied to current and future telescopes, several off-axis reflecting telescopes and imaging systems are designed and analyzed.
