Table 3. Numerical tilt solutions that minimize the field-averaged third order wavefront variance in an afocal reflective telescope formed by two concave spherical mirrors with parameters: and . The square root of the wavefront variances was calculated using the small angle approximation and the exact formulae in Table 1, expressed in units of waves.
