  2. Celestron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Celestron

    In 1970 Celestron introduced its "C8" 8" diameter 2032 mm focal length, ƒ10 telescope, the first of a new line of telescopes built using methods developed by Celestron to produce Schmidt-Cassegrains at a high volume and low cost. [1] These models made significant inroads into the amateur astronomical and educational communities.

  3. Telescope mount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescope_mount

    This mount is an alternative to the altazimuth mount that has the advantage of not having a blind spot near the zenith, and for objects near the celestial equator the field rotation is minimized. [7] It has the disadvantage of having all the mass, complexity, and engineering problems of its equatorial counterpart, so is only used in specialty ...

  4. Equatorial mount - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Equatorial_mount

    A large German equatorial mount on the Forststernwarte Jena 50cm Cassegrain reflector telescope. An equatorial mount is a mount for instruments that compensates for Earth's rotation by having one rotational axis, called polar axis, parallel to the Earth's axis of rotation. [1] [2] This type of mount is used for astronomical telescopes and cameras.

  5. 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 ...

  6. Nexstar Media Group - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexstar_Media_Group

    Nexstar chose to drop Fox from WFXW in Terre Haute, Indiana and re-affiliate with ABC on September 1, 2011 (becoming the only Nexstar station thus far to affiliate with another network following the removal of the Fox affiliation) as part of a long-term renewal agreement between Nexstar and ABC for the group's nine existing ABC stations ...

  7. Binoculars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binoculars

    In addition, one of the two eyepieces can be further adjusted to compensate for differences between the viewer's eyes (usually by rotating the eyepiece in its mount). Because the focal change effected by the adjustable eyepiece can be measured in the customary unit of refractive power, the dioptre , the adjustable eyepiece itself is often ...

  8. Dobsonian telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dobsonian_telescope

    Classical Dobsonian mount parts are typically made from plywood and other cheap materials which are glued, screwed, or even nailed together. In contrast to other telescope mount types, no precision-machined mechanical parts are required. For smooth sliding motions, small Teflon (PTFE) blocks are used for the seven supports. Their surface sizes ...

  9. Stellar evolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stellar_evolution

    Stellar evolution is the process by which a star changes over the course of its lifetime and how it can lead to the creation of a new star. Depending on the mass of the star, its lifetime can range from a few million years for the most massive to trillions of years for the least massive, which is considerably longer than the current age of the ...
