ABSTRACT:
A multi-telescope imaging system includes a first telescope and a second telescope, each telescope having an input line of sight, a ray path that is incident upon a focal surface imaging location at a non-normal angle of incidence, and a shutter lying on the ray path. A single common sensor lies at the focal surface imaging location, such that the first-telescope ray path and the second-telescope ray path are alternatingly incident upon the same focal surface imaging location of the sensor. A shutter controller alternatingly opens and closes the two shutters, so that the sensor alternatingly views the scenes imaged by the two telescopes.
