    Star Diagonal: Used to change the angle of the light coming out of a telescope, for easier viewing. Herschel Wedge: Similar to a star diagonal with a wedge-shaped unsilvered prism reflector that reduces incoming light by up to 95% for solar viewing. Coma corrector a correcting lens used to reduce coma distortion in fast reflecting telescopes.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_telescope

    The Large Binocular Telescope at the Mount Graham International Observatory in Arizona uses two curved mirrors to gather light. An optical telescope gathers and focuses light mainly from the visible part of the electromagnetic spectrum, to create a magnified image for direct visual inspection, to make a photograph, or to collect data through electronic image sensors.

    The refracting telescope which uses lenses to form an image. [27] The reflecting telescope which uses an arrangement of mirrors to form an image. [28] The catadioptric telescope which uses mirrors combined with lenses to form an image. A Fresnel imager is a proposed ultra-lightweight design for a space telescope that uses a Fresnel lens to ...

    A diagram of the electromagnetic spectrum with the Earth's atmospheric transmittance (or opacity) and the types of telescopes used to image parts of the spectrum. Visible-light astronomy encompasses a wide variety of astronomical observation via telescopes that are sensitive in the range of visible light (optical telescopes).

  6. Reflecting telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflecting_telescope

    A reflecting telescope (also called a reflector) is a telescope that uses a single or a combination of curved mirrors that reflect light and form an image. The reflecting telescope was invented in the 17th century by Isaac Newton as an alternative to the refracting telescope which, at that time, was a design that suffered from severe chromatic ...

  9. 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.
