1284:(tilge) characters. As to the questions, I have reviewed several blogs at the CloudyNights telescope review pages, and consistenly owners of quality telescope systems that have emailed the manufacturers often ask about the non-spherical surfaces, and some have received replies that you can read at the blog about the optical designs being a propriety priveledge & company secret with patents pending, so that many of the complex lens systems being studied that use aspheric, parabolic, and hyperbolic curvatures are tested for specific purposes at the manufacturer, depending on wavelength, coma, spherical abberation, chromatic abberation, refractive index, ect. The "best" fit is what makes it to the market place for consumers buying the product, and they are not perfect, but are the best known combinations that theory can employ.

1863:"Verification needed" means that someone needs to actually go check the cited sources and verify that they say what the article claims. There was a problem a few years ago with an enthusiastic editor who added a lot of material about Ibn Sahl and other Islamic scientists and mathematicians to many Knowledge articles. The editor's contributions contained many citations, but on closer examination many of the claims were not adequately supported. I presume the "verification needed" tag is a leftover from that incident, but some digging would be needed to figure out whether this claim is properly supported.

phases being collimated before reaching
Cardinal points (optics) for higher definition and point to point traversal of successively smaller diameter optical tubes, there isn't any easier way to express these compound abstracts, except to try and put them together. In terms of pixels, high definition is considered to be 1920 X 1080. This is difficult at best to describe in terms of a distant source emitting individual collimated light rays that reach a complex lens system.
828:, the descriptions are not reflecting, less refracting, and more of a warp of electromagnetic flux that funnels into successively smaller diameters of re-collimated waveforms, ultimately reaching an array with enough energy to trigger components that begin the initial electronic processing used to interpret point-to-point facsimiles of objects several light years wide upon sensor arrays that detect infra-red, ultra-violet, and visible light spectrums.

This optical system does not use any reflecting lenses, and the array being flat limits it's use solely to astronomical surveillance.
