Amateur astronomy. Newtonian reflecting telescope in a amateur observatory dome. This telescope focuses light with a mirror which has a diameter of 45 centimetres. Reflecting telescopes are popular because,unlike telescopes with lenses,they do not cause colour distortions (chromatic aberration) in the observed light. It is also easier to make a mirror than a lens of the same size. Photographed at Sky Ranch Ridge in the Carmel Valley,California,USA | |
