Telescopes: broader relevance
• Telescopes are examples of optical systems serving as cameras, i.e., producing images from sources at infinity (collimated light).
• Spectrographs and re-imaging systems essentially use variants of these systems as collimators and cameras.

• Trade-offs primarily between cost, desired field of view (at given image-quality) and collecting area.
• Image-quality and field-of-view concern aberrations.• 6 principal aberrations:

Reading
• Walker - ok place to start• Schroeder - ferocious, but very rigorous and
remarkably general and complete• McLean - fairly complete, but missing basicsØ Recommend:
1. Start with Walker to get an overview2. Pick up McLean and a basic optics book (e.g.,
Meyer-Arendt, “Introduction to Classical and Modern Optics”) and work out quoted results; return to Walker to reconcile results and nomenclature.
3. Then hit Schroeder’s text running to go to expert level.
