    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meade_LX200

    The Meade LX200 is a family of commercial telescopes produced by Meade Instruments launched in 1992 with 8" (20.32 cm) and a 10" (25.4 cm) Schmidt–Cassegrain models on computerized altazimuth mounts. [1] [2] Two larger models, a 12" (30.48 cm) and a 16" (40.64 cm), quickly followed.

  3. Galileoscope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Galileoscope

    Background: The focus tube and main telescope tube containing the achromatic doublet objective lens. The Galileoscope uses a 32 mm ( 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) focuser, giving the telescope a great deal of versatility, since this is the standard size for eyepieces used in most amateur and some professional telescopes.

  4. Telescopic sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telescopic_sight

    The main tube of telescopic sights varies in size, material, the applied production process and surface finish. The typical outside diameters vary between 19.05 mm (0.75 in) and 40 mm (1.57 in), although 25.4 mm (1 in), 30 mm and recently 34 mm are by far the most common sizes.

  5. Catadioptric system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catadioptric_system

    The Houghton telescope or Lurie–Houghton telescope is a design that uses a wide compound positive-negative lens over the entire front aperture to correct spherical aberration of the main mirror. If desired, the two corrector elements can be made with the same type of glass, since the Houghton corrector's chromatic aberration is minimal.

    A 1951 USAF resolution test chart is a microscopic optical resolution test device originally defined by the U.S. Air Force MIL-STD-150A standard of 1951. The design provides numerous small target shapes exhibiting a stepped assortment of precise spatial frequency specimens.

  7. Optical telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_telescope

    An eyepiece of 35 mm is a non-standard size and would not be purchasable; in this scenario to achieve 100% one would require a standard manufactured eyepiece size of 40 mm. As the eyepiece has a larger focal length than the minimum magnification, an abundance of wasted light is not received through the eyes.

  8. List of telescope parts and construction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_telescope_parts...

    Primary lens: The objective of a refracting telescope. Primary mirror: The objective of a reflecting telescope. Corrector plate: A full aperture negative lens placed before a primary mirror designed to correct the optical aberrations of the mirror. Schmidt corrector plate: An aspheric-shaped corrector plate used in the Schmidt telescope.

  9. Meade ETX telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Meade_ETX_telescope

    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 ...
