Larger telescopes are often used to focus on one specific star or distant formations. Smaller telescopes view broader areas of stars or larger formations.

Are there different types of telescopes?

Yes.


Which area of technology might be associated with telescope?

The area of technology associated with telescopes is astronomy. Telescopes are used to observe and study celestial objects such as stars, planets, and galaxies in the night sky. They come in different types, including optical, radio, and space telescopes, each utilizing different technologies for observation.

What kinds of problems occur with opticol telescopes?

Optical telescopes are of two types: refractive and reflective. The refractive telescopes have chromatic aberration (huh? different colors are focused in different plains -- huh?). This is less of a problem with reflective telescopes.


What Are Radeo Telescopes?

Do you mean Radio Telescopes? A radio telescope is a form of directional radio antenna used in radio astronomy. The same types of antennas are also used in tracking and collecting data from satellites and space probes.


Can you provide an explanation of different telescope types?

There are two main types of telescopes: refracting telescopes and reflecting telescopes. Refracting telescopes use lenses to gather and focus light, while reflecting telescopes use mirrors. Each type has its own advantages and disadvantages, but both are used to observe distant objects in space.


Are celestron telescopes reflecting telescopes?

They have many other different types of telescopes than just reflecting!!!! I have a refracting telescope myself. They also have other things like binoculars and microscopes


Is the design of radio telescopes very similar to the design of refracting telescopes?

No, radio telescopes and refracting telescopes have different designs and functions. Radio telescopes are designed to detect radio waves from space, whereas refracting telescopes use lenses to bend light to create images of distant objects. While both types of telescopes have a common goal of observing the universe, their designs are optimized for different wavelengths of electromagnetic radiation.


Why might astronomers use different types of telescopes to obtain images in space?

to get every view


Different tools used in astronomy?

Telescopes come to mind. There are many types of them ranging from one end of thee-m spectrum to the other. There are ultraviolet, visible light, infrared, microwave radio wave and gamma ray telescopes to name a few. With these telescopes other devices are used. CCD's and sometimes photographic film cameras to record images, computers to control the cameras and telescopes. Also used in conjunction with the recording devices are filters, both optical and electrical, and notch and bandpass.


What are the instrument used to study stars and other heavenly bodies?

Telescopes are the main instruments. There are many different types, such as radio telescopes, besides the "usual" optical telescopes. Other instruments such as spectrometers are very useful too.
