Well baffled two-mirror corrector for a parabola

The two-mirror Baker corrector for a parabolic telescope mirror is a well-known, very elegant design. In some variations, both corrector mirrors are spherical. The only thing marring the beauty of this solution to providing anastigmatic performance for large parabolic telescope mirrors is that the system is difficult to baffle. An alternate two-mirror corrector is presented here-based on a different design principle-that is easy to baffle. One of the two corrector mirrors is spherical, and there is a field stop to further aid in baffling. The penalty paid is that the signs.
