From the Back Cover
This book provides a unified treatment of the characteristics of telescopes of all types, both those whose performance is set by geometrical aberrations and the effect of the atmosphere and those diffraction-limited telescopes designed for observations from above the atmosphere.Is also contains a thorough discussion of grating instruments used with telescopes. In addition, the Hubble Space Telescope's expected optical characteristics are presented in a clear and complete manner.While...the nature of both astronomical optics and the research carried out will continue to change at an increasing rate, the basic principles enunciated here will remain valuable for many years. This volume should serve well as both a textbook and a reference book for future practitioners of the magic art of "doing it with mirrors."
