#optical_telescope__opticaltelescope an astronomical telescope designed to collect and record light from cosmic sources
supertype: #astronomical_telescope any telescope designed to collect and record electromagnetic radiation from cosmic sources
part: #eyepiece #object_glass
subtype: #reflecting_telescope__reflector optical telescope consisting of a large concave mirror that produces an image that is magnified by the eyepiece
subtype: #Cassegrainian_telescope__Gregorian_telescope a reflecting telescope that has a paraboloidal primary mirror and a hyperboloidal secondary mirror; light is brought to a focus through an aperture in the center of the primary mirror
subtype: #coude_telescope__coudetelescope__coude_system__coudesystem a reflecting telescope so constructed that the light is led to a plate holder or spectrograph
subtype: #Herschelian_telescope__off-axis_reflector a reflecting telescope with the mirror slightly tilted to throw the image to the side where it can be viewed
subtype: #Maksutov_telescope reflecting telescope in which the aberration of the concave mirror is reduced by a meniscus lens
subtype: #Newtonian_telescope__Newtonian_reflector reflecting telescope in which the image is viewed through an eyepiece perpendicular to main axis
subtype: #Schmidt_telescope__Schmidt_camera reflecting telescope that has plate that corrects for aberration so a wide area of sky can be photographed
subtype: #refracting_telescope optical telescope that has a large convex lens that produces an image that is viewed through the eyepiece
subtype: #field_glass__fieldglas__glass__glas__spyglas a small refracting telescope
subtype: #Galilean_telescope a type of refracting telescope that is no longer used in astronomy
