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]
The first of these was the Hamiltonian telescope patented by W. F. Hamilton in 1814. The Schupmann medial telescope designed by German optician Ludwig Schupmann near the end of the 19th century placed the catadioptric mirror beyond the focus of the refractor primary and added a third correcting/focusing lens to the system.
This is a list of large optical telescopes. For telescopes larger than 3 meters in aperture see List of largest optical reflecting telescopes . This list combines large or expensive reflecting telescopes from any era, as what constitutes famous reflector has changed over time.
Multiple mirror telescopes that are on the same mount and can form a single combined image are ranked by their equivalent aperture. Fixed altitude telescopes (e.g. HET) are also ranked by their equivalent aperture. All telescopes with an effective aperture of at least 3.00 metres (118 in) at visible or near-infrared wavelengths are included.

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.
