Abstract
The content of this work is about the design and manufacture of a small Newtonian telescope, showing the development of optical technologies in the Physics Section of the Pontifical Catholic University of Peru (PUCP). This includes optical design and simulation, precision optical manufacturing, optical testing, thin film optical technology, opto-mechanical design and opto-mechanical manufacturing.
