| 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. | ||
