Active Optics Adjustments to the primary mirror due to sagging, weight shifting, thermal expansion, & manufacturing errors. Mirror is thin and has electric adjustors along its back Adjustment per minute

Adaptive Optics Adjustment to the primary or secondary mirror to compensate for atmospheric distortions. Mirror is thin and has electric adjustors along its back 1000 time/second

Adaptive Optics
