Zusammenfassung:A supporting system is disclosed for taking up the weight components of large astronomical telescopes. The weight components act in the mirror plane and load-relieving devices are arranged at the rear side of the mirror. The load-relieving devices are arranged in concentric circles and act on the outside of the rear surface of the mirror whereat supporting forces are introduced outside of the gravity plane of the mirror. Each load-relieving device applies a compensating moment to the particular portion of the mirror to which it corresponds which counteracts the disturbing moment resulting from the force of the weight of the particular portion and the supporting force.
