Scientific paper

In this paper a design study is described for telescopes to be used in precision astrometry. Specifically, the application is the search for planets outside the solar system. The requirements are stringent because of the need to be spectrally independent, have low distortion, and be free of coma and other asymmetric aberration. The image requirements for astrometry are defined along with two mirror telescope designs for the application. Effects of misalignment and long term stability are considered.
