  2. PLate OPtimizer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PLate_OPtimizer

    PLate OPtimizer, or PLOP is a CAD program used by amateur telescope makers to design primary mirror support cells for reflecting telescopes. It was developed by telescope maker David Lewis, first described in 1999, [ 1 ] and used to simplify calculations needed in the design of mirror support cells. [ 2 ]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catadioptric_system

    The idea of replacing the complicated Schmidt corrector plate with an easy-to-manufacture full-aperture spherical meniscus lens (a meniscus corrector shell) to create a wide-field telescope occurred to at least four optical designers in early 1940s war-torn Europe, including Albert Bouwers (1940), Dmitri Dmitrievich Maksutov (1941), K. Penning ...

    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 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.

    I know that it's not fair to compare the size of a survey telescope with the 8+ m monsters but 2.5 m is really just a bit larger than the 100" Hooker from 1917! However, I'll leave the issue open. If several other editors show strong support for it, I'll put it in. Cheers, cmɢʟee⎆τaʟκ 00:22, 10 May 2015 (UTC)

    These were available in the same 8" (20.32 cm) to 16" (40.64) size range on the new fork mount, and the 16" (40.64 cm) optical tube assembly (OTA), along with a new 20" (50.8 cm) OTA, were available on a new German equatorial mount. These were all f/8 optical systems, costing up to $50,000 for the 20" on the German equatorial mount.

    Base of the tube Crab Nebula, 1959. Hale supervised the building of the telescopes at the Mount Wilson Observatory with grants from the Carnegie Institution of Washington: the 60-inch (1.5 m) telescope in 1908 and the 100-inch (2.5 m) telescope in 1917.

  9. Binoculars - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Binoculars

    The addition of a focusing lens reduces the light transmission of the optical system contained in the telescope tube somewhat. Internal focusing is generally considered the mechanically more robust central focusing solution and with the help of an appropriate seal like O-rings air and moisture ingress can be prevented, to make binoculars fully ...
