Product Details. Closeout - All Sales Final. Title: Advanced Telescope Making Techniques - Volume 2, Mechanical - Featuring Selected Articles from the Maksutov Circulars.
The skill level of each project is indicated and advice is provided as to what is sensible to construct, given what is commercially available. Hints and tips are included, as well as listings of reputable mail order sources of materials and components. Author by: Robert L. Clark Language: en Publisher by: Springer Science & Business Media Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 94 Total Download: 997 File Size: 46,9 Mb Description: Building an astronomical telescope offers the amateur astronomer an exciting challenge, with the possibility of ending up with a far bigger and better telescope than could have been afforded otherwise. In the past, the starting point has always been the grinding and polishing of at least the primary mirror, a difficult and immensely time-consuming process. But now that the Internet has brought us together in a global village, purchasing off-the-shelf goods such as parabolic mirrors, eyepieces, lenses, and telescope tubes, is possible. There are also a vast number of used mirrors and lenses out there, and it is now possible to track them down almost anywhere in the world.
Online stores and auction houses have facilitated commerce regarding all sorts of useful optical components at a reasonable price. This is a book about making telescopes from available parts. It provides guidance on where to look and what to look for in selecting items useful for telescope making and explains how to assemble these components to produce an excellent instrument on a tight budget. At one time, many amateurs made their own telescopes from home-made parts. In today's rushed world, that has almost become a lost art. The Internet offers a wonderful alternative to either buying a pricey scope fully assembled or making your own from scratch. Author by: Allyn J.

Wilson Language: en Publisher by: Springer Science & Business Media Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 61 Total Download: 376 File Size: 50,8 Mb Description: This is the first volume of a monumental work that will provide a complete treatment of all theoretical aspects of reflecting telescope optics. It addresses all specialists in the field, both within the astronomical community and in industry, and, consequently, particular emphasis is placed on subjects such as practical alignment, test techniques, and maintenance aspects. Whereas the second volume will concentrate on technical aspects and modern developments, this one is devoted to the theory of reflecting telescope optics and, together with the historical development, it will also prove to be useful to students. This book has real classic potential. Author by: A. Bhattacharya Language: en Publisher by: Jones & Bartlett Learning Format Available: PDF, ePub, Mobi Total Read: 13 Total Download: 828 File Size: 53,9 Mb Description: This book is designed for upper division courses in astronomy and as a reference for science professionals.
The subject areas of astronomy and astrophysics have grown tremendously during the last few decades. New developments in radio astronomy and recent data retrieved from NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have resulted in many discoveries and created new interest in the study of the universe. Using four-color throughout, Astronomy & Astrophysics describes the different techniques and instruments employed in the study of the universe and the results obtained with discussion on both theory and observation. The book covers topics such as, 'minor' planets, radio astronomy, astronomical telescopes, measurement of solar brightness distribution, black holes, and the Einstein effect.
