More on Refractor
Telescope - traditionally, a system of lenses, mirrors, or both, used to gather light from a distant object and form an image of it.
Refractory elements:
The term refractory metals denotes metals with a very high melting point, but it is used somewhat arbitrarily in the metals industry.
Refractor
A refractor telescope uses convex (bending outwards) lenses to collect, focus and magnify light. Rays of light travel through the objective (main) lens where they are focused at the focal length of the eyepiece.

Refractor Telescopes. Refractors usually have f/15 or f/16 focal ratios, are the most light-efficient optical design, give maximum image contrast at high powers, and are simple to use, and require little cleaning and maintenance.
REFRACTORY ELEMENTS - Any chemical element that would (or condense) from gas at high temperature (Tc = 1850-1400 K) in the solar nebula. The opposite of refractory is volatile.

Refractor A type of telescope in which the light from a distant object is gathered by a large lens at the front of the telescope, which then focuses the light on to the eyepiece.
Refractor. A telescope that uses as its primary optical element a lens. Binoculars are a type of refractor. In general, refractors are much more expensive to build and buy than are reflectors.
Refractor
A telescope in which the light is focused by a lens at the viewing side of the telescope. By contrast, a reflecting telescope is one in which light is focused by a mirror.

Dropped refractor fixtures. These fixtures are everywhere. Our common street lights are dropped refractor "cobra heads," so named because of the supporting "neck" and the flaring "head" where the lamp is mounted.
Refractor telescopes can usually be distinguished by their long, narrow tubes. Unlike reflectors, refracting telescopes use a series of lenses to focus the image.
refractor: a telescope that gathers light with a lens.
retrograde: when an object moves in the reverse sense of "normal" motion.
Refractor telescopes are rugged. After the initial alignment, their optical system is more resistant to misalignment than the reflector telescopes.
The glass surface inside the tube is sealed from the atmosphere so it rarely needs cleaning.
Refractor disadvantages: Some secondary color ("chromatic aberration") still visible in all but the best units, large aperture instruments can be massive, most expensive of the three designs (often by a large margin), ...
Refractor
When most people think of a telescope they think of a refractor. Unlike the reflector which is open at one end, the refractor is a sealed tube.
Refractor
A telescope, also known as a refracting telescope, that uses a transparent lens to gather light and bend it to a focus.

Refractor
A telescope that uses lenses (usually a doublet of crown and flint glass) to collect and focus light. This yields a high-contrast image, with the drawback of some false color in the image.
refractory - (n.)
The property of being able to exist in solid form under conditions of very high temperature.
The 76-cm refractor at Nice Observatory
The Observatoire de Nice (Nice Observatory) is located in Nice, France on the summit of Mont Gros. The observatory was initiated in 1879 by the banker RaphaĆ"l Bischoffsheim.

refractor (NASA SP-7, 1965) = refracting telescope. refractory (NASA SP-7, 1965) A material, usually ceramic, that resists the action of heat, does not fuse at high temperatures, and is very difficult to break down.

Stardust is a scientific term; not just a poetic one, referring to refractory dust grains that condensed from cooling ejected gases from individual presolar stars.
They range from the very simple to complicated designs including Refractors, Schmidt Cassegrains and Maksutovs. The most popular telescope design is the Newtonian reflector, described by Russell W. Porter as 'The Poor Man's Telescope'.
Steinheil (Journal savant de Munich, Feb. 28, 1843) describes a " heliometre-oculaire " which he made for the great Pulkowa refractor, the result of consultations between himself and the elder Struve.

Although refractors were the first telescopes made (Galileo's telescope was a refractor) they are not common today in sizes greater than backyard telescopes and binoculars.
Vega was the first star to be photographed, exposed for 100 seconds with the daguerreotype process through a 15-inch refractor at Harvard Observatory on the night of July 16-17, 1850.
After using the instrument on the great Yerkes refractor in Williams Bay, Wis., U.S. (which he built), Hale developed the Mount Wilson Observatory in California and built the first solar tower telescopes there.
Optical telescopes fall into two basic categories"reflectors and refractors. Figure 5.1 shows how a reflecting telescope uses a curved mirror to gather and concentrate a beam of light.
91m Yerkes Telescope (in Wisconsin) is the largest aimable refractor in use.
The largest refractor ever constructed was French. It was on display at the 1900 Paris Exposition. Its lens was stationary, prefigured so as to sag into the correct shape.
There are three kinds of telescopes: the refracting telescopes (refractors), the reflecting telescopes (reflectors) and the catadioptric telescopes.
The primary mirror of a reflecting telescope serves the same function as the objective lens in a refractor telescope - to collect light, not to form an image.

Telescopium is usually depicted as an aerial telescope, a long refractor suspended from a pole.
Two major types of telescopes dominate astronomy: reflectors and refractors.
When light is bent by passing through something like glass, it is refracted, so these early telescopes are known as refractors. Figure 14 shows you a refracting telescope design.

Discovered by Barnard 1892 September 9 using the 36 inch (91 cm) refractor at Lick Observatory. Amalthea was the last moon to be discovered by direct visual observation (as opposed to photography).
It has a 40 inch (102 cm) ; this is the largest refractor in the world. The Observatory was named for Charles Tyson Yerkes (1837-1905), a Chicago transportation tycoon who financed it. The observatory was designed by in 1892.
