TELESCOPIC ASTRONOMY.

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.

Telescope types Martin Crow Crayford Manor House Astronomical Society Refractors

Telescope types Martin Crow Crayford Manor House Astronomical Society Refractors Johannes Helvelius’s 8” Ariel telescope from 1673 had a focal length of 150 feet. Amazingly a lot of science was done using these types of instrument but were made obsolete by technical advances.

Telescope types Martin Crow Crayford Manor House Astronomical Society Refractors The achromatic lens was first invented by an amateur optician Chester Moore Hall but John Dolland was granted a patent in 1758.

Telescope types Martin Crow Crayford Manor House Astronomical Society Refractors The Apochromatic lens was invented Dolland’s son Peter in 1763.

Telescope types Martin Crow Crayford Manor House Astronomical Society Newtonian

Telescope types Martin Crow Crayford Manor House Astronomical Society Newtonian A six inch diameter telescope was shown to the Royal Society in 1721 by John Hadley. Built in late 1668 by Isaac Newton the mirror was made from Speculum metal. This first telescope had a mirror of just 1 1/3 “ but worked without colour distortion and could resolve the four Galilean moons and phases of Venus. A second version of this telescope was shown to the Royal Society in The mirrors today are made from glass and the surface is Aluminised and are very efficient at reflecting light.
