Compound Cassegrain Telescopes

Very efficient optical configurations can be obtained for astronomical telescopes by combining one of the correctors described in the previous chapter with the Cassegrain scheme. Depending on the corrector chosen, a Schimdt–Cassegrain, Houghton–Cassegrain or Maksutov–Cassegrain telescope is obtained (see Figure 6.1). These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.
