Telescope

Summary

[edit]
Description
English: Practical Astronomy. Let OF be a section of the telescope, MN being its object glass. Let the parallel dotted lines represent rays of light emanating from the object to be observed, which, for our purpose, we regard as infinitely distant, a star for example. These rays come to a focus at a point F lying in the focal plane of the telescope.
Illustration from 1911 Encyclopædia Britannica, article Astronomy.
