Bücher von Raymond N. Wilson

This book, written by the designer of the worlds largest telescope, the VLT in Chile, covers the essential modern developments in telescope optics. In addition to these topics, the book also covers the alignment of telescope optics, atmospheric optics, adaptive optics, reflective coatings, and ancillary equipment.

Useful for professionals in research and industry, as well as students and astronomers, this volume deals with the theory of reflecting telescope optics. It recounts the historical progress systematically, and includes spot-diagrams that analyse special systems. The concluding part II treats manufacture, testing, alignment, and modern techniques.
