A common type of reflector is the Newtonian telescope which was invented by a figure known to all, Sir Isaac Newton. The amateur who has had an introduction to astronomy via a refractor telescope will find that an “upgrade” to the reflector will allow greater exploration of the night sky....
What type of telescope is a Newtonian telescope? What is a non-optical telescope? What can a telescope be used for in general? What is a Maksutov-Cassegrain telescope? What is a refracting telescope used for? What is radio astronomy?
A laser collimator allows one to conveniently align the optics of a reflecting telescope. First, you use the laser collimator to determine whether or not thesecondary mirroris pointing directly at the center of theprimary mirror. The first thing you do is shine the laser collimator through the ...
The solution every time you use a Newtonian telescope is simple: turn the maps upside down. The problem occurs with instruments using a diagonal. A solution is to flip over your sky chart and shine a light behind it to view a mirror image of the printing through the paper. A little theo...
What is the Best Planetary Telescope Mar 19 2005 10:18 AM | Roland Christen in How to . . . You will get dozens of different opinions on what is best, but I will tell you that for any given type of scope configuration, be it Newtonian, Cassegrain or Refractor, there will be ...
A telescope's optical tube has two important parameters: "aperture" and "optical quality". Aperture is the diameter of the objective lens or a mirror - it defines how much light the telescope gathers and its maximum resolving power. Optical quality is a general therm which describes the abilit...

The James Webb Space Telescope, launched after 30 years of development on Dec. 25, 2021, is also expected to contribute to the hunt for the elusive substance. With its infrared eyes able to see to the beginning of time, the telescope of the century won't be able to see dark matter dir...
The moon is an ally for life on Earth. It governs Earth’s seasons, affects our tides, gives us the length of our day, protects us from asteroids, and more.
