Abstract
A primary mirrordefines an active concave surface, a first planarand a first concavealignment surfaces, each facing an active surfacedefined by a secondary mirror. The secondary mirror also defines a second planara second concavealignment surfaces, each opposite the active surface. Alignment beamsare reflected from each of the four alignment surfaces, which all face the same direction, to adjust the mirrors. The first planar alignment surface is used to adjust tip and tilt of the primary mirror; the first concave alignment surface is used to position a retro reflectorrelative to the primary mirror; the second planar alignment surface is used to adjust tip and tilt of the second mirror, and the second concave alignment surface is used to adjust the second mirror in the x, y and z direction relative to the first mirror. The apparatus and method are described for two and three mirror telescopes.
