Scientific paper

The design principle of the central-axis reflector, a segmented-mirror telescope, is presented. The inventions relate mainly to the optical system and to the tracking apparatus. A large number of small individual mirror bodies, ground off-axis (hexagonal/polygonal), produce one primary mirror with closed circular aperture when joined together. The overall design of the tracking apparatus results directly (and thus without unnecessary adornment) from the two planes of motion which have been reduced to a minimum but which are required for tracking of the telescope.
