Objective Lens
A simple refracting telescope may be constructed from a pair of convex lenses, where the larger of the two lenses is the objective. This lens produces a real image at the focal plane that is viewed with an eyepiece.
Objective lens This is the large lens at the front of the telescope. It is invariably either achromatic or apochromatic. Simple lenses are never used nowadays as the objective lenses of telescopes. It is often called 'the OG' (objective glass).
Objective Lens (or Object Glass) The lens in a refractor that is closest to the object under observation.
Obliquity of the Ecliptic The angle between the plane of the ecliptic and that of the celestial equator.
Objective Lens
In a refracting telescope, the long focal length lens that forms an image of the object viewed; the lens closest to the object
Objective Mirror ...
objective lens, mirror: The main optical element in an astronomical telescope. The large lens at the top of the telescope or large mirror at the bottom.
oblateness: The flattening of a spherical body; usually caused by rotation.
Thick objective lens started to dew over, eventually (it was a really humid and cold night).
4 inches were a bit short on aperture for some objects.
Finding targets was easy by sighting along the tube (no finder).
Modern objective lenses are actually made of several lenses of different refractive indexes fitted tightly together in order to compensate each other's chromatic aberration and thus produce an image that has all the colors focused to the same point.
the image of the objective lens or primary mirror of a telescope formed on the eye side of the eyepiece

The diameter of the objective lenses determines the light-gathering power and the ultimate resolving power of the binoculars.
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.
Adjust the binoculars by covering one objective lens, and then look through the binoculars with both eyes at a distant object and turn the center focus dial until the image is sharp and clear.
In the refracting telescope, or refractor, light is bent, or refracted, as it passes through an objective lens. The objective lens is convex, i.e., thicker at the middle than the edges.
A photographic lens (also known as objective lens or photographic objective) is an optical lens or assembly of lenses used in conjunction with a camera body and mechanism to make images of objects either on photographic film or on other ...
If you choose to use binoculars, you will want to use a pair having an objective lens of at least 50 mm.
The quality of an ocular, or eyepiece, is just as important to the telescope's optical system as the primary mirror or objective lens. Good contrast images can only be obtained with high quality multi-coated oculars.
First devised in the 18th century, the objective prism spectrograph is the simplest design possible; a prism large enough to cover the aperture of the telescope is placed in front of the objective lens (or the aperture in front of the secondary ...
The objective lens can be supported only at the ends. The glass lens will sag under its own weight. Because of these disadvantages, the largest refractor telescope built is the one at Yerkes Observatory. It has an objective 1.
The diameter of the main mirror in a reflecting telescope, the objective lens in a refracting telescope, or the dish of a radio telescope.
The achromatic lens, which greatly reduced color aberrations in objective lenses and allowed for shorter and more functional telescopes, first appeared in a 1733 telescope made by Chester Moore Hall, who did not publicize it.
Refractors gather light with an objective lens at one end and focus the light at the eyepiece at the other end.
Focal Plane - The surface where the objective lens or mirror of a telescope forms the image of an extended object
Focal Point - The spot where parallel beams of light striking a lens or mirror are brought to a focus ...
It has an objective lens at one end that concentrates the light into the eyepiece at the other end. This design normally gives a slightly better image of the planets and the moon. A 60mm refractor is a good starter scope.
Astronomers do not use refractors very much nowadays because if we wished to collect a lot of light from a faint object we would need a very large objective lens. The only way to support a large lens is around its edge.
Filters on telescopes or binoculars should be on the objective lens or aperture, never on the eyepiece, because eyepiece filters can suddenly crack or shatter due to high heat loads from the absorbed sunlight.
The ability of a telescope to collect light. Proportional to the area of the telescope's objective lense or mirror.

His initial version only magnified 8x but was soon refined to the 20x magnification he used for his observations for Sidereus nuncius. It had a convex objective lens and a concave eyepiece in a long tube.
It begins with the assumption that the central ring of one image should fall on the first dark ring of another image; for an objective lens with diameter d and employing light with a wavelength lambda (usually taken to be 560 nm), ...
Aperture - The size of the opening that lets light into a camera lens, which can usually be adjusted and changed. In a telescope, the aperture is usually fixed, and is defined by the size of the primary mirror or objective lens.
Beta Telescopii, positioned in the pulley at the top of the mast, is now Eta Sagittarii, Gamma Telescopii, in the upper part of the refractor's tube, is G Scorpii, and Lacaille's Theta Telescopii, which marked the telescope's objective lens, ...
In a refractor, the first lens through which light from a celestial object passes is called the objective lens. It should be noted that the light will be inverted at the focal plane.
An occulting disk is used to block out the image of the body of the sun in the focal plane of the objective lens. The light of the corona passes the occulting disk and is focused on a photographic film.
