Astro Tutorial #1.7: Types of Telescopes - V2.0 enhanced audio quality

- version 2.0 : enhanced audio and no coffee -
Hey folks,
this time we want to open up the telescopes to look what’s inside.
We will discover different types of telescopes - some with lenses, some with mirrors or even some with both of it.
What is an apochromatic Refractor? How does a Newtonian Reflector work? Lets find out!
Clear skies everyone and have fun!
Greetings

Cool! I'm a mirror guy :)

[@catchingphotons]

=) So am I till today. Clear skies!

[@drandrewclarke]

if the Maks has a curved corrector plate, why does the light entering the tube not refract?

[@catchingphotons]

It does! Just enough to counteract any aberrations resulting from spherical/ non-perfect-parabola mirrors. The question is: Does chromatic aberration occur? It must be but I don't know.
Clear skies!

@@catchingphotons : Maks very rarely produce CA.....if you see any its probably caused by the eyepiece you're using.

Maybe I can't resist during long live sessions ;-) I'll give a spoiler @ the start of the stream, OK? ;-P
