Optics

A telescope tube is referred to as an optic because it contains the components necessary to collect and concentrate light.

Aperture ratio (f/)

Aperture ratio

Is the ratio of the aperture to the focal length of a telescope.

0,91

Limit value (mag)

Limit value

Describes the brightness of a star or point-shaped object, which can still just be distinguished by the telescope. The naked eye, for example, can make out stars with a magnitude of up to 6.

Included accessories

Many telescopes came with simple accessories.

1.25'' eyepieces

Eyepieces are needed for observing. Depending on the focal length, you achieve a certain level of magnification.
The specification 1.25" refers to the diameter of the connector (1.25" = 31.8 millimetres).

Finder scope

A mini telescope used to locate a celestial object. There are optical finders and red dot finders.

Click to read more...

Red dot finder

A red LED dot is projected onto a disc.

Deviating optics

Erecting systems

A telescope always displays an object upside down. This law of optics can only be compensated for by an erecting system. Erecting lenses, diagonal mirrors or Amici prisms provide you with an upright image. Diagonal mirrors provide an upright but back-to-front image and Amici prisms provide an upright and right-sided image.
