There are the dedicated collectors, but there are also many amateurs who love the nostalgia they inspire. These telescopes "feel" different from any contemporary telescope and perhaps have a unique ability to reconnect the owner to a bygone age of craftmanship. This book takes a look at traditional telescopes built by the great instrument makers of the 18th and 19th centuries, particularly the dynastic telescope makers, including Dollond, Alvan Clark, Thomas Cooke & Sons, and Carl Zeiss. Also included are lesser luminaries such as John Brashear, John Calver, William Wray, Henry Fitz, and William Henry Mogey. .‘Classic Telescopes‘ covers the key features of the telescopes designed by these manufacturers, and shows how a heady combination of market trends, instrument condition, and pedigree will dictate their prices at auction. ‘Classic Telescopes‘ also shows the reader how to find real bargains! Interviews with top classic telescope collectors (and users) provide the best tips of prospecting for a genuine acquisition.. | 出版日期 | Book 2013 | 关键词 | Achromatic refractors; Amateur astronomers; Antique telescope market; Apochromatic telescopes; Catadiopt | 版次 | 1 | doi | https://doi.org/10.1007/978-1-4614-4424-4 | isbn_softcover | 978-1-4614-4423-7 | isbn_ebook | 978-1-4614-4424-4Series ISSN 1431-9756 Series E-ISSN 2197-6562 | issn_series | 1431-9756 | copyright | Springer Science+Business Media New York 2013 |
