Longitudinal aberration at the hearth [mm]

This is the equivalent of the transverse aberration in the focus: We must stay within the radius of Airy.
It is given rather in absolute, and not relative to the radius of Airy: RA

Recommended hx
According to Texereau, it is necessary to avoid areas smaller than 15 mm seen at 3 m
Moreover, the middle zone is very difficult to measure if it is small.
Finally, the graph above shows that the tolerance is lower at the periphery of the mirror.

We therefore use a geometric progression to define the radii of the zones.
The one proposed below is no worse than another.

Number of mask area 1 2 3
Area outside radius (recommended value) 55 78 96
