Newtonian telescope design. A Newtonian telescope is composed of a primary mirror or objective, usually parabolic in shape, and a smaller flat secondary mirror.The primary mirror makes it possible to collect light from the pointed region of the sky, while the secondary mirror redirects the light out of the optical axis at a right angle so it can be viewed with an eyepiece.
The first reflecting telescope built by Sir Isaac Newton in 1668 [3] is a landmark in the history of telescopes, being the first known successful reflecting telescope. [4] [5] It was the prototype for a design that later came to be called the Newtonian telescope. There were some early prototypes and also modern replicas of this design.
The Newtonian telescope was the first successful reflecting telescope, completed by Isaac Newton in 1668. It usually has a paraboloid primary mirror but at focal ratios of about f/10 or longer a spherical primary mirror can be sufficient for high visual resolution.
The Astroscan had a Newtonian reflector layout with a 4 + 1 ⁄ 8 in (10 cm) clear-inch diameter f/4.2 aluminized and overcoated borosilicate glass parabolic primary mirror with a focal length of 17 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (44 cm). [1] The telescope's secondary mirror was mounted on a flat optical window at
Clyde Tombaugh, a 24 year old student and the discoverer of the planet Pluto, looks over a Newtonian reflecting telescope he built in 1928. Bettmann Archive.
This list of the largest optical reflecting telescopes with objective diameters of 3.0 metres (120 in) or greater is sorted by aperture, which is a measure of the light-gathering power and resolution of a reflecting telescope. The mirrors themselves can be larger than the aperture, and some telescopes may use aperture synthesis through ...
