Abstract

We study the influence of a system of bar supports, which are positioned symmetrically with respect to the telescope axis, on the deformation of the optical surface of the mirror. We show that two circular rows of bar supports do not provide the necessary degree of mirror deformation allowed for practical use. Bibliography: 1 title.
