MAPPIT (Masked APerture-Plane Interference Telescope) is an optical interferometer mounted at the coudé focus of the 3.9 m Anglo-Australian Telescope. The instrument, shown schematically in Fig. 1, uses a pupil mask with five apertures of diameter ≲r0. The apertures are arranged in a linear non-redundant array, with the spacings chosen to optimize the spatial frequency coverage (R. G. Marson, these Proceedings).
