Abstract
Coded aperture telescopes employing a high angular resolution specifically for accurate point source imaging, are subject to a severe loss in sensitivity with respect to the extended source imaging capability. However, by choosing a mask with a larger element size the telescope becomes sensitive to more extended regions, but consequently there will be considerable source confusion in crowded fields. This paper describes two systems which simultaneously take images of point sources and extended regions over the same energy range.
