Describes the exact structure of the telescope thereby further subdividing the different types of telescope.

An achromatic is a refracting telescope (refractor), which consists of two lenses. It is the classic refractor design.

This is the distance between the objective lens or mirror and the focal point.

The ability of the optic to discern the fine detail of objects that are close together.

Are mainly differentiated between equatorial and altazimuth. A special type of altazimuth mount is the Dobsonian mount.

These astronomical mounts are particularly lightweight and compact.

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

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.
