    The ETX started out as a 90 mm (3-1/2") Maksutov Cassegrain telescope (first produced in 1996) and took advantage of high volume mass production and simplified optical and parts construction to open a new market for a cheap alternative to the very expensive Questar 3-1/2 Maksutov Cassegrain [1] [2] The ETX "line" has been expanded to 105 mm, and 125 mm Maksutov Cassegrains and achromatic ...

    An exploded-view drawing is a diagram, picture, schematic or technical drawing of an object, that shows the relationship or order of assembly of various parts. [1]It shows the components of an object slightly separated by distance, or suspended in surrounding space in the case of a three-dimensional exploded diagram.

    From 1900 to 2100, the state of Nevada will have recorded a total of 90 solar eclipses, six of which are annular eclipses, one of which is a total eclipse, and one of which is a hybrid eclipse. Two of the annular solar eclipses occurred on May 20, 2012 and October 14, 2023 , respectively, and the remaining four will occur on February 5, 2046 ...

    A total solar eclipse occurred at the Moon's descending node of orbit between Saturday, July 21 and Sunday, July 22, 1990, [1] with a magnitude of 1.0391. A solar eclipse occurs when the Moon passes between Earth and the Sun, thereby totally or partly obscuring the image of the Sun for a viewer on Earth.

    6 eclipse seasons, and a fairly short eclipse cycle. Each eclipse in a hexon series (except the last) is followed by an eclipse whose saros series number is 8 lower, always occurring at the same node. It is equal to 35 synodic months, 1 less than 3 lunar years (36 synodic months). At any given time there are six hexon series active. Hepton

  9. Ecliptic coordinate system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecliptic_coordinate_system

    For example, the north ecliptic pole has a celestial latitude of +90°. Ecliptic latitude for "fixed stars" is not affected by precession. Distance Distance is also necessary for a complete spherical position (symbols: heliocentric r, geocentric Δ). Different distance units are used for different objects.
