Compression is not a defect in the lens or mirror
itself but is a warping of the lens or mirror producing warped images. It is
caused by applying too much pressure around the lens or mirror's outer circumference
when mounting the lens or mirror in its tube. The remedy is obvious, don't
force the lens or mirror into a tube of insufficient diameter to hold it.
Cheap eyepieces are plagued by all the above
aberrations and a couple of new ones, like problems with Curvature of field
and Distortion.
Curvature of field brings the images of stars that
are in the central regions of the field of view to a different focus than the
stars in the outer regions of the field of view.
There are two types of
distortion: Pincushion, and Barrel. The latter is the one
most likely encountered in a telescope. It produces a field of view that
looks like everything is being viewed through a photographer's fish eye lens
and would make the Lunar Eclipse look like the inset.
The best remedy for these problems is to buy better
eyepieces.
