Other telescope product lines include the CGE, CGEM, CPC, NexStar, Omni, Onyx, AstroMaster, Ambassador, TravelScope,StarSense Explorer and PowerSeeker product lines. [10] These range from large computerized reflectors with GPS to decorative/casual viewing telescopes with brass tube refractors on wood mounts. Celestron products (as of 2010) include:
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.
Horseshoe mount on the Hale Telescope. The horseshoe mount overcomes the design disadvantage of English or Yoke mounts by replacing the polar bearing with an open "horseshoe" structure to allow the telescope to access Polaris and stars near it. The Hale Telescope is the most prominent example of a horseshoe mount in use. [8]

ESO Science Archive has been providing access to data from astronomical catalogues since 1988. [1]An astronomical catalogue or catalog is a list or tabulation of astronomical objects, typically grouped together because they share a common type, morphology, origin, means of detection, or method of discovery.
Edmund Scientific Corporation, based in Barrington, New Jersey, was founded in 1942 as a retailer of surplus optical parts like lenses.It later branched out into complete systems like telescopes and microscopes, and in the 1960s, a wide variety of science toys and kits.
The STARS real-time star tracking software operates on an image from EBEX 2012, a high-altitude balloon-borne cosmology experiment launched from Antarctica on 2012-12-29. A star tracker is an optical device that measures the positions of stars using photocells or a camera. [1]
[10] [11] [12] Red band sources for the southern sky include the short red (SR) plates of the SERC I/SR Survey and Atlas of the Milky Way and Magellanic Clouds (referred to as AAO-SR in DSS2), [13] the Equatorial Red (SERC-ER), [5] and the F-band Second Epoch Survey (referred to as AAO-SES in DSS2, AAO-R in the original literature), [14] all ...
