A combination of two aspherical mirrors is considered which is aplanatic (i.e. axially stigmatic and satisfying the exact sine criterion). The shapes of the mirrors are determined analytically in finite form. The Schwarzschild-Chretien aplanatic telescope follows as a special case when one focus is at infinity.
