Since then, refractors have retained their dominance over all types of reflector in studies of the Moon, planets and double stars because of the precision of their optics and lack of a central obstruction in the optical path, which causes diffraction effects in all commercially-made reflectors..Most mature amateur astronomers got started with a 60mm refractor, or something similar. Thirty years ago, there was little choice available to the hobbyist, but in the last decade long focus crown-flint achromats have moved aside for some exquisitely crafted apochromatic designs offered by leading commercial manufacturers. There has been a huge increase in the popularity | 出版日期 | Book 2011 | 关键词 | Amateur astronomical observing; Apochromatic refractors; Astronomical imaging; Astronomical webcams; Ast | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4419-6403-8 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4419-6402-1 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4419-6403-8Series ISSN 1431-9756 Series E-ISSN 2197-6562 | issn_series | 1431-9756 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media, LLC 2011 |
