DESIGN ASPECTS OF FUTURE VERY LARGE TELESCOPES (HONEYCOMB MIRRORS).
Research has been carried out on three major difficulties in designing efficient and economic telescopes with 8m f/1 lightweight mirrors. These problems are polishing f/1 aspherics, thermal distortion of borosilicate glass mirror and mirror seeing. Viable solutions to all three have been developed....
