Abstract
The system design of telescopes is usually dominated by the aspects of the optics and receiving instruments. The telescope structure, mechanic and control are "only" aids to position these elements to the celestial target, but their quality has a big impact on the final performance. The paper describes an integrated design approach to these "mechatronic" telescope subsystems.
