The proposed design for PILOT is a general-purpose, wide-field 1 degree 2.4m,
f/10 Ritchey-Chretien telescope, with fast tip-tilt guiding, for use 0.5-25
microns. The design allows both wide-field and diffraction-limited use at these
wavelengths. The expected overall image quality, including median seeing, is
0.28-0.3" FWHM from 0.8-2.4 microns. Point source sensitivities are estimated.Comment: 4 pages, Proceedings of 2nd ARENA conference 'The Astrophysical
