The Pfund telescope, originated by A.H. Pfund, provides an alternative method for achieving a fixed telescope focal point in space regardless of where the telescope line of sight is pointed. Pfund's configuration uses a two-axis flat feed mirror that reflects starlight into a fixed paraboloidal mirror, usually with a horizontal optical axis.

  • The Pfund telescope, originated by A.H. Pfund, provides an alternative method for achieving a fixed telescope focal point in space regardless of where the telescope line of sight is pointed. Pfund's configuration uses a two-axis flat feed mirror that reflects starlight into a fixed paraboloidal mirror, usually with a horizontal optical axis. The paraboloid focuses through a central hole in the feed flat to a convenient location some distance behind the flat. No spider vanes or Newtonian secondary fold mirrors are required in this configuration. This eliminates vane diffraction and blockage, as well as secondary mirror scattering and absorption, thus improving image brightness and contrast. (en)
