When you enter every new area of science, in most cases you yourself with a weird new language of terminology to learn before you can speak with experts This is certainly an astronomy, a term that refers to the universe, and an instrument of trade It applies to both the terms that describe and the terms that point to the most popular telescopes. So, to get us off the first base, it's into a telescope that will help you be able to talk to them more intelligently
The first area of telescope specialization concerns the type of telescope that people use. The three designs of telescopes that most people use are the refractor, the reflector and the Schmidt Cassegrain telescope.
* The refractive telescope uses a convex lens to focus the light on the eyepiece.
* The reflector telescope has a concave lens that means it bends. It uses a mirror to focus the image you finally see.
* The Schmidt Cassegrain Telescope uses a complex system of mirrors to capture the image you want to see.
* Binoculars Telescope mounts and uses a set of telescopes so your view of the sky is 3-D.
Beyond the basic types, other terms refer to the part of the telescope or the science behind the mechanics of the telescope.
* Collimation is a term for fine tuning how well a telescope gives you a good clear picture of what you are looking at. Make your telescope have good collimation because you are not getting fake images of celestial bodies.
* The aperture is a fancy word for how big your telescope lens is. But it's an important word, as the lens aperture is the key to how powerful your telescope is. The scaling factor has nothing to do with it.
* The eyepiece is the housing that holds the telescope eyepiece, or whatever you will look at, in places. The eyepiece must be stable and have an image that can be relied upon for a good repair there is.
* Mounts and wedges. Both of these terms refer to a tripod with your telescope sitting on top. The mount is a real tripod and the wedge is a device that allows you to attach the telescope to the mount. Mounts and wedges are there to help you with an excellent viewing session and keep your tall telescope safe from falling.
* Altazimuth mount holds the device installed and shows a telescopic tripod that makes it useful during the star-viewing session. The Altazimuth mouth allows the telescope to move horizontally (or azimuthally) and vertically. In this way, you can look close to the horizon or have a full range directly on the overhead.
* A coma has a different meaning to what we are used to, and it is a good thing. Coma is a blurry area on the rim outside your view through the telescope. How big a coma is and how much it interferes with your vision is critical to the effectiveness of your telescope.
* Planisphere. Flashy words for a star map. It is a detailed map of where to find the stars that everything is in the universe and how you want to study by keying off the known stars
* Barlow. This refers to a special type of lens that can be purchased to increase the magnification of your telescope.
These are just a few of the basic concepts of telescope operation. We intentionally chose what you know to intelligently discuss the telescope. However, your education on the more complex aspects of astronomy and telescope design and operation is the rest of your life as long as you are an astronomy lover
The basics of buying a telescope
There is a moment in the life of any aspiring astronomer that it is time to buy its first telescope. Thinking about setting up your own viewing site is exciting if you are on the deck of your home or it is actually a star of maturity
The last thing we want to do is to get rid of any of the "fun" of your astronomy hobby. But unlike many other hobbies, we are a passion for science, learning and discovery. And don't kid yourself, a limited telescope setup hobbyist can see some amazing things with stars. Well then, as you astronomers grow, make sure to invest in a solid piece of equipment that can continue to grow with your knowledge and ability but how do we do that?
Meet the nerd
Now that we are lovingly using the term "telescope geek" because one of us who is dedicated to our love of astronomy will eventually become a telescope geek and these are you Precisely what your needs are in terms of where you are now and where you want to go as your hobbies grow with you, so if you are not yet associated with a local astronomy club, to do it now It's time.
Start rubbing the elbow with the person alive and breathing the telescope. That salesman has been the "telescope geek" where you are, whether their input is more than a hundred times more reliable than what sales brochures
Size matters
In the world of telescopes, sales people look to try to mislead us with all the bells and whistles of their hottest selling model. One of the big checkpoints often pushed is the amplification level of the telescope lens. It is a notable factor, but when it comes to telescope lenses, the old phrase "size matters" is a good guideline.
Just remember that your telescopic lens works best when taking at the lightest possible from the purpose you are looking at. So the wider the lens diameter, the better the view you are going to get. So it does not fall under the only amplification level. Carefully evaluate the size of the lens to make it suitable for what you want to do.
It should stand at your feet.
If you are trying to set up a permanent telescope site, you can bolt the unit so it is well supported. However, many of us need to take our telescopes to the country for optimal use. So, the stand allows us to set up the telescope on uneven turf, but still this important and expensive piece of equipment makes it our view
We already mentioned strong and flexible as an evaluation guide for the telescope stand, but also add in ease of use. You need to be able to break it down quickly and easily when setting up your telescope and viewing remotely. You also set yourself up, take down your telescope in the dark, or by lanterns and flashlights, this hobby is so exciting
These are the basics of what to look for with your new telescope. Finally, strengthen the telescope, throw away the first unit, and make sure that it can be deployed without buying something completely new. As your knowledge and skills grow, you want your telescope to grow. If your first telescope meets all of these requirements, you are on the right foot over a long and enjoyable career as an amateur astronomer
