Abstract
We have designed and installed a new set of actuators for the suspensi on of the primary mirror of the 2.1-m telescope at San Pedro Martir. T his active optics system has allowed us to correct low-order aberratio ns identified by several wave-front analysis techniques. (C) 1997 Opti cal Society of America.
