This volume is concerned essentially with the modern developments in reflecting telescope optics. In the last twenty years, modern technology has revolutionized not only manufacturing and test procedures but also the whole area of quality specification with the introduction of active control into the functioning telescope. Other subjects covered here are alignment of telescope optics, atmospheric optics, including adaptive optics, reflecting coatings and ancillary equipment (adapters and baffles...

Steiner’s all new XP 8 x 24 and 10 x 26 Wildlife compacts are small and light enough to fit in a coat pocket. Small in size yet big in performance, the 8 x 24 has a wide field of view, is phase corrected and comes with fully multi-coated lenses for superb resolution and brightness. These center focus compact roof prism binoculars are waterproof and shockproof and can close focus to 6.5 feet. At only 11 ounces the 10 x 26 Wildlife compact is the...

ATX/STX telescopes are based on SWAROVISION technology and have an optical quality that has never before been achieved by a spotting scope. An innovative and unique optical design - including HD lenses - provides a significant improvement in resolution, rich contrast and saturation, and exceptional colour fidelity. The ATX/STX telescopes stand out for their high zoom range (25-60x65; 85 or 30-70x95) while also offering a very wide field of view...

Hand-coloured engraved plate by John Emslie illustrating the science of optics. Various figures show how light is bent and focused using different types of lenses and their application in the telescope. Other illustrations explain the formation of a rainbow, reflection and refraction along with the working of the magic lantern (projector), camera obscura and the eye. Taken from a series of books called 'Introduction to natural philosophy, comprising a popular account of the properties of bodies...

R. N. Wilson's two-volume treatise on reflecting telescope optics has become a classic in its own right. It is intended to give a complete treatment of the subject, addressing professionals in research and industry as well as students of astronomy and amateur astronomers. This first volume, Basic Design Theory and its Historical Development, is devoted to the theory of reflecting telescope optics and systematically recounts the historical progress. The author's approach is morphological, with strong...

This book by one of the leaders in adaptive optics covers the fundamental theory and then describes in detail how this technology can be applied to large ground-based telescopes to compensate for the effects of atmospheric turbulence. It includes information on basic adaptive optics components and technology, and has chapters devoted to atmospheric turbulence, optical image structure, laser beacons, and overall system design. The chapter on system design is particularly detailed and includes performance...

The first thing to say about this new scope from William Optics is the welcome inclusion of a dual speed 2" rack and pinnion focuser. Designs of rack and pinnion focusers are now so good that they can replicate the smoothness and lack of backlash normally associated with a Crayford focuser, but with the huge advantage of much increased mechanical strength. The rack and pinnion focuer can be fully locked and will not flex or slip even with a very heavy camera combination. The ZS71 ED features a sharp...

Aperture, price and weight. A pure two-mirror optical system means zero colour aberration and a large aperture with high resolution. The 10" metal tube RC weighs 15.7kg and the tube assembly is very compact at 735mm including the 3" focuser. No mirror shift. Because it has a fixed focuser, the primary mirror flop and resultant image shift issues associated with long focal length SCT telescopes with moving mirrors are avoided. There is no need for mirror locks, and the additional problems these bring...

Digiscoping is a means of obtaining close-up photographs of birds using a digital camera and a telescope. The camera is fixed to the telescope eyepiece using a "digiscoping adaptor".

The SBIG AO-8, like the AO-L, is a second generation adaptive optics system from SBIG that is specifically designed to enable an SBIG ST-series camera user to obtain the ultimate in image resolution that his or her telescope and site can achieve. The SBIG AO-8 is a replacement for the former AO-7 and can only be used with ST-7/8/9/10/2000 USB cameras. The compact unit, which is smaller than the AO-L, gets power and commands directly from the camera via a short cable that is connected to camera's...

DESCRIPTION: The seven reviews articles presented in this volume cover a broad range of subjects. The first article is concerned with the use of active optics in modern, large telescopes. The second article discusses variational methods used in nonlinear fiber optics and in related fields. The article by O. Keller which follows deals with a topic of historical interest. The article presents a fascinating account of researches of the Danish physicist L.V. Lorenz who in 1867 established the electrodynamic...

The field of Adaptive Optics (AO) for astronomy has matured in recent years, and diffraction-limited image resolution in the near-infrared is now routinely achieved by ground-based 8 to 10m class telescopes. This book presents the proceedings of the ESO Workshop on Science with Adaptive Optics held in the fall of 2003. The book provides an overview on AO instrumentation, data acquisition and reduction strategies, and covers observations of the sun, solar system objects, circumstellar disks, substellar...
