As a practical man, Dollond at once put his doubts to the test of experiment: he confirmed the conclusions of Klingenstierna, discovered a difference far beyond his hopes in the refractive qualities of different kinds of glass with respect to the divergence of colors, and was thus rapidly led to the construction of lenses in which first the chromatic aberration—and afterwards—the spherical aberration were corrected.

Intersect: The Stanford Journal of Science, Technology, and Society. 6 (2). As we look at the question “What type of telescope should I buy?”, we can say from the outset that the best telescope is one that is practical and comfortable to use regularly, and that provides exciting views of the night sky. However, larger refractors 100mm in diameter and upwards can really open up the skies, and under reasonably dark skies there will be hundreds of deep-sky objects that can be viewed including galaxies, globular clusters of stars and bright nebulae. We used an EQ5 SynScan mount and found it could could handle it, but the larger NEQ6 mount offered the best performance.

The history of the telescope can be traced to before the invention of the earliest known telescope, which appeared in 1608 in the Netherlands, when a patent was submitted by Hans Lippershey, an eyeglass maker. Although Lippershey did not receive his patent, news of the invention soon spread across Europe. The design of these early refracting telescopes consisted of a convex objective lens and a concave eyepiece. Galileo improved on this design the following year and applied it to astronomy. In 1611, Johannes Kepler described how a far more useful telescope could be made with a convex objective lens and a convex eyepiece lens. By 1655, astronomers such as Christiaan Huygens were building powerful but unwieldy Keplerian telescopes with compound eyepieces. [1] A telescope like the Large Millimeter Telescope (active since 2006) observes from 0.85 to 4mm (850 to 4,000μm), bridging between the far-infrared/ submillimeter telescopes and longer wavelength radio telescopes including the microwave band from about 1mm (1,000μm) to 1,000mm (1.0m) in wavelength. Not compatible with #93648 Off-Axis Guider, not compatible with #93519 2" Mirror Diagonal (discontinued) Because radio telescopes have low resolution, they were the first instruments to use interferometry allowing two or more widely separated instruments to simultaneously observe the same source. Very long baseline interferometry extended the technique over thousands of kilometers and allowed resolutions down to a few milli-arcseconds.ESO's VLT boasts advanced adaptive optics systems, which counteract the blurring effects of the Earth's atmosphere. Perfect for the young scientists learning to use a telescope for the first time. Easy to use, focus and adjust. Can be handheld for ease of use. Or attach to the tripod to give a steady image. Great for looking at scenery and wildlife or at the starry skies. Includes dust caps for safe storage.

FirstScope pays tribute to the men and women who brought us one step closer to understanding the universe around us! Reflecting telescopes have an open tube at the front and a round mirror inside the bottom of the tube, called the primary mirror.Albert Van Helden; Sven Dupré; Rob van Gent (2010).
