Abstract

Different hexagons configuration aperture models of the optical telescope
mirror is carefully considered in this study. The point spread function and the
modulation transfer function of a reference star using different hexagons
configuration are computed and the quantitative assessment for the results are
described. It has been shown that the height of the point spread function decreases
rapidly when the area of the circular aperture of the optical telescope is 18 times
the area of the individual hexagon to be arrange to fill this aperture. No significant
change has been noticed as the area of the this aperture exceeds 121 times the area
of the individual hexagon.
