Abstract
Telescopes normally use two lenses and/or mirrors to produce a magnified, and in the case of point sources, brighter image. There are many different designs, the basic properties of several of those more commonly encountered having been discussed in Chapter 1. In this chapter we take a closer look at the details of some of those designs.
