Aplanatic, Anastigmatic, Flat-field, Orthoscopic (free from distortion, rectilinear, JS 1987) Spherical primary telescope. The quaternary mirror is near the exit pupil. Spherical aberration and Coma are then corrected with a single aspheric surface. The Petzval sum is zero. If more aspheric surfaces are allowed then more aberrations can be corrected.
