Maksutov-Cassegrain

A Maksutov-Cassegrain is a catadioptric telescope design that uses a combination of spherical mirrors and a negative meniscus lens to gather and focus light. The design corrects the problem of off-axis aberrations found in reflectors while also minimizing chromatic aberrations.
