An optical system includes a curved window, an optical corrector adjacent
to a curved inner surface of the window, an optical train positioned such
that the optical corrector lies between the curved window and the optical
train, a movable optical train support upon which the optical train is
mounted, and a sensor disposed to receive an optical ray passing
sequentially through the window, the optical corrector, and the optical
train. The optical corrector has an inner surface and an outer surface, at
least one of which has a shape described by a modified Zernike polynomial
surface.
