HOW IT
WORKS |
- Light hits the lens like in the refracting telescope.
- The light then reaches the primary mirror, 3/4 of the length of the telescope away from the lens. The light is bounced off the primary mirror to the secondary mirror.
- The secondary mirror sits at a 45o angle, so that the objects can be seen through the eyepiece, which sits on top of the telescope at a 90o angle to the entering light.
