A method and a system are for compensating optical aberrations in a telescope. The method is applicable to a telescope wherein the element for receiving a primary beam is an image acquisition device (3), and involves using an algorithm without an image processing sensor for: a) detecting optical aberrations affecting the primary focus, by analyzing the images acquired by the image acquisition device (3), and b) calculating and generating first positional correction values, by processing the detected optical aberration values. The method also includes a step c) consisting in moving, in a controlled manner, the image acquisition device (3), applying suitable control signals generated from the first positional correction values. The system is suitable for implementing the proposed method.
Method for compensating optical aberrations in a telescope, comprising carrying out the following steps in an automatic manner:
The method according to wherein said step b) also comprises calculating, based on at least said optical aberrations detected in a), with the purpose of compensating for said optional aberrations detected in a), third positional correction values for an element for receiving a beam reflected by a secondary mirror of the telescope, and wherein said step c) also comprises moving said elements for receiving said beam reflected by said secondary mirror by application of suitable signals generated based on said third positional correction values.
System for compensating optical aberrations in a telescope, said telescope comprising at least one element for receiving a primary beam after being reflected by a primary mirror or refracted by a focus lens of said telescope, the system comprising:—first detecting means that comprise, an image acquisition device, and are envisaged to detect the optical aberrations that affect primary focus of a telescope by analysis of one or more images acquired by said image acquisition device;
