Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book provides an exhaustive overview of both reflecting and refracting telescopes and all the apparatus and accessories that make up these essential astronomical tools. From the Gregorian reflecting telescope to the Galilean refracting model, this book describes the invention, construction, assembly, adjustment, and maintenance of the telescopes that have been used over the centuries to advance our understanding of the night sky. This book goes into great depth about important innovations in telescope construction, including the achromatic refracting objective invented by Dollond in 1758 and the giant reflecting telescopes of the late 18th and 19th centuries, which gathered more light and brought the furthest celestial objects within the range of human vision. The book concludes by exploring the latest developments in telescope technology, including the use of silvered glass in reflecting telescopes and the construction of much larger and more powerful refracting instruments. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. N° de réf. du vendeur 9781334032998_0
