Focal Length
The focal length ( f ) is the distance from a lens or mirror to the focal point ( F ). This is the distance from a lens or mirror at which parallel light rays will meet.

Focal length The focal length of a lens is the distance from the lens to the place at which light from a distant object is brought to a focus.
Focal Length
This is the length of the light path, from the objective to the focal plane. The magnification is the focal length of the telescope divided by the focal length of the eyepiece. See also focal ratio.
Focal length The distance from the centre of a lens or mirror to its point of focus.

[edit] Focal length
The focal length of an eyepiece is the distance from the principal plane of the eyepiece where parallel rays of light converges to a single point.
Focal Length is the distance measured in millimeters (mm) in an optical system from the lens or primary mirror to the point where the telescope is in focus. This point is called the Focal Point.

FOCAL LENGTH
Focal length is the distance from the lens (or mirror) in a telescope to the point at which the object being observed is focused.
Focal length (shown in red) is the distance between the center of a convex lens or a concave mirror and the focal point of the lens or mirror - the point where parallel rays of light meet, or converge.

FOCAL LENGTH
The focal length determines the size of the image on the film. If we consider a zoom lens you know that the 35mm setting is "wide angle", 50mm is" normal" and 135mm is "telephoto.

A long focal length also helps to stops chromatic aberration, a "defect" found in all lenses producing false rings of color. When light is bent through a lens, the different wavelengths of light (the different colors) do not bend equally.

With a prime focal length of 2806.7mm the 13.9 seconds of arc image of Mars on the CCD chip was a bit too small, so an eyepiece projection will be used to increase the effective focal length (EFL).
July 2, 2002 - Mirror was finally figured a bit more and carefully tested with Foucault method using ten zones. Measurements were reduced with Sixtests.exe by Jim Burrows. Final focal length turned out to be 2033.7 mm - just 1.
Sagittarius where astronomers can view stars in the Galactic bulge. Baade's window lies four degrees south of the Galactic center, so an observer's line of sight passes within 1800 light-years of the Milky Way's center. [C95]

f-number (Plasma Physics and Fusion Energy Glossary) In optics, denotes the ratio of the equivalent focal length of an objective lens to the diameter of its entrance pupil. F-scan (NASA SP-7, 1965) = F-display.
aperture ratio The ratio of the useful diameter of a lens to its focal length. It is the reciprocal of the f-number.
In application to an optical instrument, rather than to a lens, numerical aperture is more commonly used.

Can be increased by using an eyepiece with a shorter focal length. magnitude used to quantify brightness.
Eyepieces are labeled by their focal length, in millimeters. Typical sizes are 25mm, 17mm, 10mm, and so on. To determine the magnification of an eyepiece you simply divide the focal length of the telescope by that of the eyepiece.
focal length. The mounting, the tube, objective-cell, slides, &c., are all of steel.' The instrument is shown in fig.
The magnification, sometimes referred to as magnifying power, is determined by dividing the focal length of the objective by the focal length of the eyepiece.
5 m focal length (f/10) Ritchey-Chretien telescope with a 0.4° field of view, filtered to operate in a bandpass from 500-900 nm. The focal plane contains two 2048 element, 13 µm pixel CCD line arrays.
The best all-around still camera lens has a 50 mm focal length and a speed of f/2 or faster.
A reasonably steady tripod is required. Be sure it can tilt the camera toward the zenith (straight up).
The first channel had two full-scan cameras, one wide angle (25-degree field of view and 25-millimeter focal length) designated the A-camera and one narrow angle (8.4 degree field of view and 76-millimeter focal length) B-camera.
You can do this simply by changing the focal length of the eyepiece. But does bigger magnification gain you anything? Note that the detail we are magnifying is set by the resolution of the telescope.
As with most observing sessions, remember it is best if you start with a very low power eyepiece (often having a focal length of 20 or 25mm), and work upward only as the evening allows.
The size of the object's image is the product of this and the focal length of the image-forming lens or mirror. For example, the angular size of the moon's diameter is about 1/2°, or roughly 1/100 radian; a telescope with a focal length of 60 in.
This form of the equation is consistent with that of the lens equation, and the interpretation of sign of focal length is the same also. But violence is done to the definition of R we used above, for refraction.
Power or magnification is determined by the focal length of the telescope tube divided by the focal length of the eyepiece you are using.

(The exit pupil is calculated as the focal length of the eyepiece divided by the focal ratio of the objective, ƒe / Fo.) For a 10" f/8 telescope, this requires a 6.5mm eyepiece or a magnification of roughly 310x.
Most large research telescopes can operate as either a cassegrainian (longer focal length, and a narrower field with higher magnification) or newtonian (brighter field).

ASTIGMATISM - Defect which occurs when the strength of a lens is different in different planes. An astigmatic lens is asymmetrical and has a slightly different focal length for different rays.

mirror, located outside the prime focus and angled to reflect the light back through a hole in the primary mirror (as is also done in a ). Both designs have the advantage over the in that they require shorter tubes for the same focal length.
line through the center of and perpendicular to the mirror), regardless of their distance from that axis, are reflected to pass through a single point, called the focus. The distance between the primary mirror and the focus is the focal length.
This is so because the second reflection is off the outside of a surface, thus allowing longer focal lengths.
