Cassegrain Reflector The Cassegrain reflector(telescope) was designed by French engineer Laurent Cassegrain to compensate for the shortcomings of the Newtonian telescope. Light reflected by the concave mirror is incident on the convex mirror. Focus is created only after reflection by...
Refracting telescope A telescope that uses only the refraction of a lens is called a refracting telescope. There are two types of refracting telescopes depending on the combination of lenses. The Galilean telescope is often referred to as a terrestrial...

Kepler and Tycho Brahe There is an astronomer before talking about Kepler (Johannes Kepler 1571 ~ 1630). That’s Tycho Brahe. Tycho Brahe (1546-1601) is a famous Danish astronomer. With the development of astronomical equipment, he left a vast amount of...
Celestial coordinate system A celestial sphere is an abstract sphere centered on an observer. All objects in the sky can be conceived as projected upon the celestial sphere’s inner surface. Horizontal Coordinate System The horizontal Coordinate System is a celestial...

The tilt relationship of the celestial sphere and ecliptic The celestial equator is the enlargement of the earth’s equator to the celestial sphere. Therefore, the celestial equator can be represented by a line fixed on the celestial sphere. The ecliptic...
Diurnal Motion Fix the camera towards the Polaris at night. When you shoot for a few hours in that state, you can see the stars move in a circle around the Polaris. The movement of these stars appears because the...
Diurnal Motion Fix the camera towards Polaris at night, shoot for a few hours, and you’ll see the stars move in a circle around Polaris. This movement of the stars in a circle once a day is called a diurnal...
