Astronomical Optics, Second Edition
"Astronomical Opticsis a comprehensive presentation of the fundamental principles of optical design and engineering for astronomical remote sensing instruments. I highly recommend this book for the personal library of scientists and engineers who have a serious interest in the optical system engineering of remote sensor systems."--ICARUS"From the Reviews:The book is clearly focused on its title subject, and the results are superb."--PHYSICS TODAY"This book is excellent....I think that it will be recognized by everyone in astronomy, telescope design, and astronomical instrument design as an outstanding book."--D.E. Osterbrock, UNIVERSITY OF CALIFORNIA, SANTA CRUZ"...clearly the most complete and rigorous treatment of this subject. It should become the basic reference for those considering design of astronomical instruments. A must for all instrumentalists, and observationalists should have nearby."--C.R. O'Dell, RICE UNIVERSITY"This is a text which sets out the general design principles of astronomical optics in a palatable way."--NATURE--This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
