Abstract: This telescope which would replace the Schmidt telescope with advantage is composed of two concentric spherical mirrors which neutralize each other's aberrations. The first mirror which first receives the light of the stars is convex while the second which has a greater radius than the first and which also has a central aperture to allow the light of the stars to reach the first mirror, is concave. According to computations it should give images as good as those of the Schmidt telescope. It is, however, much simpler to build. Farnsworth Television and Radio Corporation, Fort Wayne, Ind.
