  2. Limiting magnitude - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Limiting_magnitude

    More generally, for situations where it is possible to raise a telescope's magnification high enough to make the sky background effectively black, the limiting magnitude is approximated by = ⁡ + ⁡ (/) where and are as stated above, is the observer's pupil diameter in centimetres, and is the telescope transmittance (e.g. 0.75 for a typical ...

  3. Magnification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnification

    Magnification beyond this maximum is sometimes called "empty magnification". For a good quality telescope operating in good atmospheric conditions, the maximum usable magnification is limited by diffraction. In practice it is considered to be 2× the aperture in millimetres or 50× the aperture in inches; so, a 60 mm diameter telescope has a ...

  4. Astroscan - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astroscan

    When Edmund Scientific introduced the telescope in 1976 they called it "The Edmund Wide-Field Telescope" with a Part Number "2001" [5] Edmund had a public contest which ran until November 15, 1976, to come up with a name. [6] The winning name was "Astroscan 2001". The "2001" part of the name was dropped over time.

  5. Eye relief - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eye_relief

    The eye relief of an optical instrument (such as a telescope, a microscope, or binoculars) is the distance from the last surface of an eyepiece within which the user's eye can obtain the full viewing angle. If a viewer's eye is outside this distance, a reduced field of view will be obtained.

  6. Afocal system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afocal_system

    The magnification of such a telescope is given by M = f 2 f 1 , {\displaystyle M={\frac {f_{2}}{f_{1}}},} Afocal systems are used in laser optics, for instance as beam expanders , Infrared and forward looking infrared systems, camera zoom lenses and telescopic lens attachments such as teleside converters , [ 3 ] and photography setups combining ...

  7. Dawes' limit - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawes'_limit

    Dawes' limit is a formula to express the maximum resolving power of a microscope or telescope. [1] It is so named after its discoverer, William Rutter Dawes, [2] although it is also credited to Lord Rayleigh. The formula takes different forms depending on the units.

  8. Exit pupil - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exit_pupil

    The small exit pupil of a 25×30 telescope and large exit pupils of 9×63 binoculars suitable for use in low light. For a telescope, the diameter of the exit pupil can be calculated by dividing the focal length of the eyepiece by the focal ratio (f-number) of the telescope. In all but the cheapest telescopes, the eyepieces are interchangeable ...

  9. List of largest optical reflecting telescopes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_largest_optical...

    Multiple mirror telescopes that are on the same mount and can form a single combined image are ranked by their equivalent aperture. Fixed altitude telescopes (e.g. HET) are also ranked by their equivalent aperture. All telescopes with an effective aperture of at least 3.00 metres (118 in) at visible or near-infrared wavelengths are included.
