Telescope pupils are usually not well suited for high dynamical range imaging. Central obstruction, telescope spiders, hard edges and sparseness (for interferometers) can make it very challenging to build a coronagraph. Fortunately, it is often possible to remap a telescope pupil to achieve high contrast imaging without loosing light. In the case of a monolithic telescope, pupil remapping can produce an apodized pupil with 2 aspheric mirrors which redistribute the light without introducing phase aberrations. Similarly, an interferometer pupil can be remapped into a tight configuration compatible with coronagraphic techniques.
