With the help of CODE V specialized software suite, we numerically evaluated the possibility of utilizing the aplanatic Ritchey–Chretien system in the wide-field telescope construction. Different variants of using the lens correc-tor field installed in a converging beam near the focal surface, as well as to explore options with the use of aspheric 6th and 8th order for mirrors and lens corrector system are considered. Relative aperture optical systems have been brought to f = 1:4. The subject of this article is the representation of the design parameters and imaging quality graphs for two systems. Moreover speculations regarding the possibility of application of the aforementioned systems in space exploration and the criteria of optical systems quality and effectiveness of the telescopes are presented.
