Choosing and Using a Dobsonian Telescope by Neil English
English | PDF | 2011 | 239 Pages | ISBN : 1441987851 | 10.6 MB

In the 1960's, American amateur astronomer, John Dobson, designed a revolutionary kind of astronomical telescope featuring a lightweight large-aperture reflecting system on a simple mounting, using the then-revolutionary material called teflon. The design combines simplicity and portability with large-aperture prowess. Thirty years later Dobsonians remain supreme for visually observing faint deep-sky objects and are one of the best-selling large telescopes in the USA and Europe. This popularity is reflected in the recent increase of companies now heavily marketing Dobsonians, in particular, Meade (the "Lightbridge" range), Orion USA (XT Intelliscope series), and Skywatcher (Skyliner and Flextube models). This book is the ultimate guide to buying and using commercial Dobsonians, both 'Econo' and 'Primo' models, with in-depth accounts for the various models (plus accessories) on the market and descriptions of the many innovations that amateurs have made to optimize their telescopes' performance.

Reflecting Telescope Optics II: Manufacture, Testing, Alignment, Modern Techniques by Raymond N. Wilson
English | PDF (True) | 1999 | 566 Pages | ISBN : 3540603565 | 59 MB

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). Although an independent work, Vol. II is heavily cross-referenced with Vol. I. It is richly illustrated and gives, together with Vol. I, the most complete list of references available; it can also therefore be regarded as a source book.

Reflecting Telescope Optics I: Basic Design Theory and its Historical Development

Reflecting Telescope Optics I: Basic Design Theory and its Historical Development by Raymond N. Wilson
English | PDF | 1996 | 551 Pages | ISBN : N/A | 52.7 MB

A global overview is given of theoptical theory, historical development, current situation and future potential of reflecting telescope systems.
This first volume covers basic design theory, providing the reader with the most complete account available. It is thus a source book for the astronomical community and the optical industry. The author's approach is morphological, with strong emphasis on the historial development. The book is richly illustrated including spot-diagrams analysing special systems in modern form. Since all basic forms of reflecting telescope systems are known and the theory is largely completed, this volume should retain long-term validity and interest.

The Internet Age is changing everything about human invention and the use of technology. The change has been compared to that of the introduction of printing. Making your own telescope isn’t what it used to be, either, thanks partly to the Internet. The old days of grinding and polishing are gone – unless you want to do it! You can now assemble a great instrument from a wide range of affordable Internet-available components, new or used.
