  2. 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 ...

    Telecompressor or focal reducer: Optical element to decrease the telescope's focal length and magnification (usually by a fixed percentage) and widen the field of view, providing opposite effects of a Barlow lens. Star Diagonal: Used to change the angle of the light coming out of a telescope, for easier viewing.

    The telescope's secondary mirror was mounted on a flat optical window at the front of the tube. Edmund designer Norman Sperling and optical engineer Mike Simmons came up with the basic design and Peter Bressler Design Associates did the detailed work on this simple introductory telescope.

    Department store 50 mm Tasco Specialty Refractor on modified mount (lower left) and a 114mm Sky-Watcher reflector. Tasco's telescopes have a reputation as entry-level equipment. [ 2 ] [ 3 ] It is one of several companies advertising their products based on claims of high magnification, far beyond any attainable usable magnification . [ 2 ]

  6. Liquid-mirror telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Liquid-mirror_telescope

    These are made of liquid stored in a cylindrical container made of a composite material, such as Kevlar. The cylinder is spun until it reaches a few revolutions per minute. The liquid gradually forms a paraboloid, the shape of a conventional telescopic mirror. The mirror's surface is very precise, and small imperfections in the cylinder's shape ...

    Scale comparison between the primary mirrors of the Hubble Space Telescope, James Webb Space Telescope, and the proposed LUVOIR-B and LUVOIR-A. Selected large telescopes which are in detailed design or pre-construction phases: Large UV Optical Infrared Surveyor (LUVOIR), a proposed space telescope for launch in the mid 2030s.

  8. Telescopic sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_sight

    This, combined with telescopic magnification, clarifies the target and makes it stand out against the background. The main disadvantage of magnification is that the area to either side of the target is obscured by the tube of the sight. The higher the magnification, the narrower the field of view in the sight, and the more area is hidden.

  9. Yerkes 41-inch reflector - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yerkes_41-inch_reflector

    Yerkes Observatory; the 41-inch reflector is in the front (southern) dome. Yerkes 41-inch reflector is a 40-inch aperture (101.6 cm) reflecting telescope at the Yerkes Observatory, that was completed in 1968. It is known as the 41 inch to avoid confusion with a 40 inch refractor at the observatory.
