Abstract

In Chap. 5 of RTO I an account was given of the evolution of the reflecting telescope from the optical point of view from Lord Rosse, about 1830, up to about 1980. From about this time, the evolution of telescope optics, which had retained certain essential features ever since Galileo’s telescopes in 1610, was supplanted by a revolution. A summary of this process was recently given by the author [3.1].
