Need help finding a link...

[Cuda1447]

I need to find out what type of lens the hubble telescope uses. I thought it used a Schneider lens, but I may be wrong. Can someone help me find a link that will tell me for sure? Ive tried google, but no luck so far.

These sites talk about the telescope but don't say the name of the lens.

The Hubble OTA itself is based on a Ritchie-Cretien design, as are most large optical telescopes these days. As such, the OTA itself uses a pair of mirrors instead of a lens. The onboard cameras, especially the widefield camera, might use a Schneider lens. I don't know.

The answer is: A very large one.
