The type of telescope is called a reflector. There are multiple subtypes of reflectors like a dobsonian, newtonian, RC, etc.

Check out my YouTube video on how to work with pictures taken from a telescope.

At the end of the reflecting telescope is a what mirror?

At the end of the reflecting telescope is a primary mirror. This mirror collects and focuses light from distant objects before reflecting it to a smaller secondary mirror or camera for further magnification or analysis.


How many mirrors does a reflecting telescope have?

A reflecting telescope only needs one mirror, the primary mirror which will focus incoming light to a single point. A digital telescope might place the digital recording media directly in front of the reflecting telescope without any additional mirrors (although perhaps some lenses). For practical purposes though, most optical telescope will have a secondary mirror that will either focus light straight back through a hole in the primary telescope mirror, or to the side of the telescope. Some telescopes, especially the large ones in observatories will have several mirrors directing the light path to the observer or recording equipment.


What type of telescope is the hubble telescope?

The Hubble telescope was a basic reflector telescope with a 94.5 ft mirror. The Hubble collects light though its open end, the primary mirror reflects the light to a secondary mirror that then reflects the light through a hole in the primary mirror to a focal point of the instruments or eyes of the Hubble.


Does a reflecting telescope gather light with a lens or a mirror?

A reflecting telescope gathers light with a mirror instead of a lens. The mirror reflects light to a focus point where the image is formed. This design eliminates chromatic aberration that can occur with lenses.


What telescope has an eyepiece lens and a mirror?

A reflecting telescope has both an eyepiece lens and a mirror. Light enters the telescope and is reflected off the primary mirror to a secondary mirror, which then directs the light to the eyepiece where it is magnified for viewing.

Telescope collects and focuses light using a mirror?

A telescope uses a mirror to collect and reflect light gathered from celestial objects. The mirror focuses this light to create a magnified image, allowing astronomers to study distant stars, planets, and galaxies with greater clarity and detail.

How does a telescope see in the dark?

A telescope as actually a light bucket. It collects light from the objects in space using either a lens, or more usually a mirror.A main mirror reflects the light to a smaller one,which begins the light to a focus where an image of the object is formed

What kind of telescope collects and focuses light using a mirrior?

That's a "reflecting" telescope.


A telescope collects electromagnetic radiation from outer space and does what to it?

Yes a telescope collects electromagnetic radiation (light) an then brings this light to a focus so that the source of the light is magnified. The larger the diameter of the telescope, the more light it collects making the image at the focus brighter so as well as magnifying the image a telescope also allows one to see fainter objects.
