  2. Amateur telescope making - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_telescope_making

    For example, a Newtonian telescope of 4 inches (100 mm) aperture is a moderately easy science fair project. A 6-to-8-inch (150 to 200 mm) Newtonian is considered a good compromise size since construction is not difficult and results in an instrument that would be expensive to purchase commercially.

  3. Optical telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_telescope

    The telescope is more a discovery of optical craftsmen than an invention of a scientist. [1] [2] The lens and the properties of refracting and reflecting light had been known since antiquity, and theory on how they worked was developed by ancient Greek philosophers, preserved and expanded on in the medieval Islamic world, and had reached a significantly advanced state by the time of the ...

  4. Aperture synthesis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aperture_synthesis

    Aperture synthesis is possible only if both the amplitude and the phase of the incoming signal are measured by each telescope. For radio frequencies, this is possible by electronics, while for optical frequencies, the electromagnetic field cannot be measured directly and correlated in software, but must be propagated by sensitive optics and interfered optically.

    Since the early '50s, Aperture Science has been working hard on some pretty impressive shower curtain technology, perfecting something called the "Heimlich Counter-Maneuver" (designed to interrupt ...

  6. List of telescope types - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_telescope_types

    Telescopes can be classified by optical design or mechanical design/construction. Telescopes can also be classified by where they are placed, such as space telescopes. One major determining factor is type of light, or particle being observed including devices referred to as "telescopes" that do not form an image or use optics.

  7. Telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescope

    A larger aperture does not just mean that more light is collected, it also enables a finer angular resolution. Telescopes may also be classified by location: ground telescope, space telescope, or flying telescope. They may also be classified by whether they are operated by professional astronomers or amateur astronomers.

  8. Extremely large telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extremely_large_telescope

    Comparison of nominal sizes of apertures of the above extremely large telescopes and some notable optical telescopes. An extremely large telescope (ELT) is an astronomical observatory featuring an optical telescope with an aperture for its primary mirror from 20 metres up to 100 metres across, [1] [2] when discussing reflecting telescopes of optical wavelengths including ultraviolet (UV ...

  9. Astronomical interferometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomical_interferometer

    By moving the holes in the aperture mask and taking repeated measurements, images can be created using aperture synthesis which would have the same quality as would have been given by the right-hand telescope without the aperture mask. In an analogous way, the same image quality can be achieved by moving the small telescopes around in the left ...
