Generic misalignment aberration patterns and the subspace of benign misalignment

Q1: Why deploy N wavefront sensors on a three mirror anastigmat (TMA) and not N + 1? Q2: Why measure M Zernike coefficients and not M + 1? Q3: Why control L rigid body degrees of freedom (total) on the secondary and tertiary and not L + 1? The usual answer: “We did a lot of ray tracing and N, M, and...
