The first was a commandable coronagraphic mask that included two occulting spots, one of diameter 1.8" at the center of the field and the other of diameter 3.0" nearer to a corner. The first spot was the most popular of the two, for example, for imaging circumstellar disks around nearby bright stars or the host galaxies of luminous quasars.
The 1.3-meter McGraw-Hill Telescope, with a 1.27-meter clear aperture, is an aluminum-coated Cer-Vit (low thermal expansion glass) telescope. Its usable foci include f/7.5 and f/13.5. [ 6 ] The telescope was originally installed at Stinchfield Woods, Michigan in 1969, and moved in 1975 to MDM.
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]
The Astroscan had a Newtonian reflector layout with a 4 + 1 ⁄ 8 in (10 cm) clear-inch diameter f/4.2 aluminized and overcoated borosilicate glass parabolic primary mirror with a focal length of 17 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches (44 cm). [1] The telescope's secondary mirror was mounted on a flat optical window at
The telescope is pointed at a bright star, and a mask is placed in front of the telescope's objective (or in front of the aperture). The mask consists of three separate grids, positioned in such a way that the grids produce three angled diffraction spikes at the focal plane of the instrument for each bright image element.
In the largest telescopes, the mass and cost of an equatorial mount is prohibitive and they have been superseded by computer-controlled altazimuth mounts. [5] The simple structure of an altazimuth mount allows significant cost reductions, in spite of the additional cost associated with the more complex tracking and image-orienting mechanisms. [6]
A fine guidance sensor (FGS) is an instrument on board a space telescope that provides high-precision pointing information as input to the telescope's attitude control systems. Interferometric FGSs have been deployed on the Hubble Space Telescope; a different technical approach is used for the James Webb Space Telescope's FGSs.
Used at a 1% selection or less, lucky imaging can reach the diffraction limit of even 2.5 m aperture telescopes, a resolution improvement factor of at least five over standard imaging systems. Zeta Bootis imaged with the Nordic Optical Telescope on 13 May 2000 using the lucky imaging method.
