Optical Pupil Shift Correction Method for Large Ground-Based Optical Telescopes

Cassegrain telescopes with larger apertures suffer significant optical pupil shifting errors caused by gravity and temperature gradients. This study constructs an optical model of a large Cassegrain telescope and a method to calculate and compensate its shifting error. First, the optical structure i...
