Spherical Aberration

Description
(a) Different parts of a spherically concave mirror reflect light to slightly different
focal points. This effect, spherical aberration, causes image blurring. This problem
can be overcome by (b) using a parabolic mirror or (c) using a Schmidt corrector plate
(a specially curved lens) in front of the telescope.
