New paradigms for producing high-performing meter class ground-based telescopes
2010
Design-to-cost exercises and innovative design have resulted in remarkably
high performing half-meter class wide field astronomical telescopes. This
approach is being extended to meter+ class telescopes with further innovation
on mounts and optics. Custom motors, drives and bearings have been
developed to keep performance up and cost down. We will also report on a
concurrent engineering campaign with Brashear Optics to ensure optical
performance while maintaining the highest value for primary mirrors in our line
of meter (and larger) class astronomical telescopes.
