Minimizing atmospheric dispersion effects in compensated imaging

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

A compensated imaging system that corrects optical path length distortions due to atmospheric turbulence by means of an achromatic corrector will have residual errors caused by the dispersion of the atmosphere. These errors become significant for astronomical objects at large zenith angles, but they may be minimized by special dispersion correctors.
