Optical Telescopes Telescopes that detect light waves from stars. This type of telescope uses lenses to bend and focus the light from stars. It was developed.

Telescopes come in three basic styles. Refracting telescopes use lenses Refractors are either achromatic (some color distortion) or apochromatic (very.

Telescope Tear-Down Anatomy of a 114mm f/8 Newtonian Reflector

The Newtonian Telescope

LockAdjust The Mirror Cell

COLLIMATION Aligning the optical axis Centreing the light cone in the secondary mirror and eyepiece

The Optical Axis The direction the telescope is pointing All light from the focal point reflects parallel to optical axis Line from centre to focal point Axis intersects mirror at 90 degrees Focal point halfway between centre and mirror See reflection of eye where axis intersects mirror

Adjusting the Primary Mirror Still see reflection of eye where axis intersects mirror For parabolic mirrors the optical axis should intersect the mirror in the CENTRE. Align axis with tube to avoid tube blocking light.

Quick Primary Collimation The view down the tube When reflection lines up with secondary we see the optical axis Adjust primary to centre optical axis

Primary now roughly aligned with tube Secondary reflection in centre of primary mirror Reflection of camera lens (eye) in centre of mirror

Secondary Mirror Alignment Position mirror under centre of focuser tube 1 - Secondary mirror position

Secondary Mirror Alignment Centre reflection of primary Should see whole mirror - don’t cut off light! 2 - Aim the secondary mirror

Final Primary Collimation Reflection of eye is on the optical axis Move eye to centre of primary mirror

How close? Only eye reflection & centre matters F/8 => 11mm radius F/6 => 5 mm radius F/5 => 2.7mm radius Radius = Focal ratio 3 x mm
