The Heretic's Guide to Choosing and Buying Your First Telescope Michael J Edelman These pages may not be copied without my express permission last updated August 5, 2005 There are a lot of people who are anxious to own a telescope to view the heavens above, but who need direction as to what scope to buy. This is my FAQ, and while I try to be objective, it does reflect my viewing biases. Basic Rules Before You Buy Glossary of Common Words (New!) Recommended Books, Videos and Software What Scope To Buy ... Please visit the new Guestbook (new on 3/1/01) The old guestbook had to be closed because of some potential CGI security holes) Let's start with some basic rules: Never buy a telescope in a department store . I used to qualify this rule, but I've decided to make it absolute. Similarly, don't buy telescopes from "close-out" catalogs, stores that specialize in high-tech toys, catalog showrooms, etc. Don't buy from anyplace that doesn't do a major business in astronomy related tools. Magnification by itself is meaningless . Don't choose a telescope by its advertised magnification. The way to compare similar telescope is by aperture; that is, the size of the objective lens or

Gemini North, Mauna Kea, Hawai'i Gemini South Dedication Page Gemini North Dedication Page Virtual Tour of Gemini North Current Picture of the Enclosure The Gemini Observatory is an international partnership comprised of two 8.1-meter telescopes (each telescope has a main mirror over 26 feet across.) One telescope is located on Hawaii's Mauna Kea , and the other on . The name Gemini comes from the mythological twins, whose stars are visible to both telescopes. United States of America United Kingdom Canada Chile Australia Argentina Brazil The flags above represent all of the countries that have joined the Gemini partnership. Astronomers in each country are allotted observing time in proportion to their country's contribution. Star Trails at Gemini (Photo courtesy Richard Wainscoat) By building the telescopes on Mauna Kea (elevation 13,824 ft/4214 m) in Hawai'i and Cerro Pachón (elevation 8895 ft/2737 m) in central Chile, both the northern and southern skies are fully accessible to these scopes. Both sites also offer high percentages of clear weather and excellent atmospheric conditions for all types of astronomical studies. Take a look at a " real-time " image of Gemini North!

Telescopes 1st High Energy Astrophysics Observatory ( HEAO 1. GSFC. NASA ) The first of NASA's three High Energy Astronomy Observatories, HEAO 1 was launched aboard an Atlas Centaur rocket on 12 August 1977 and operated until 9 January 1979. During that time, it scanned the X-ray sky almost three times over 0.2 keV - 10 MeV, provided nearly constant monitoring of X-ray sources near the ecliptic poles, as well as more detailed studies of a number of objects through pointed observations. 2-Telescopes Large Interferometer ( GI2T REGAIN ) Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers ( AMPTE ) Advanced Camera for Surveys ( ACS ) The Advanced Camera for Surveys (ACS) will be installed in the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) during a Space Shuttle mission scheduled in 2000. ACS will increase the discovery efficiency of the HST by a factor of ten. ACS will consist of three electronic cameras and a complement of filters and dispersers that detect light from the ultraviolet at 1200 angstroms to the near infrared at 10,000 angstroms. Advanced Fiber-Optic Echelle ( AFOE ) A Spectrograph for Precise Stellar Radial Velocity Measurements.
