Unobscured Gregorian telescope

A support was generated around two mirrors that are defined in a ZEMAX provided design. The complete structure is cooled. The impact of the material used for the support of the two first mirrors (off-axis design) was analysed. In this particular case, a change from aluminium to titanium for the support reduces by a factor 4 the perturbation of the merit function value.
