Scientific paper

A design definition study has been made of the image properties of the Nasmyth and prime foci for an f/2.0 primary mirror. Spherical and aspheric corrector subsystems have been examined with the goal of 0.5 arcsec images over a field of 30 arcmin and with final f-ratios from f/1.5 to f/14. Departure of the Ritchey-Chretien hyperbolic primary to a larger conic constant yields a remarkably good field at the prime focus with the addition of two aspheric reflectors as the field corrector. Intercomparison has been made of a number of alternates for performance and practicality aspects.
