Synopsis
This compendium on the design of large telescopes provides insights from a group of leading telescope designers active at the major observatories throughout the World. It includes discussions of all the basic scientific and engineering aspects of building large ground- or space-based telescopes, including: general specifications and the design process, siting and project management, construction and fabrication, active and adaptive optics, and operation and maintenance.

As telescopes become larger and more costly, other aspects such as structures, pointing, wavefront control, enclosures, and project management become just as critical.

This subject is so vast that an in-depth treatment is obviously imprac- cal. Our intent is therefore only to provide a comprehensive introduction to the essential aspects of telescope design and construction. This book will not replace specialized scienti c and technical texts. But we hope that it will be useful for astronomers, managers, and systems engineers who seek a basic understanding of the underlying principles of telescope making, and for s- cialists who wish to acquaint themselves with the fundamental requirements and approaches of their colleagues in other disciplines. 536 pp. Englisch.
