Very long baseline interferometry extended the technique over thousands of kilometers and allowed resolutions down to a few milli-arcseconds. Crawford, David Livingstone, ed. (1966), The Construction of Large Telescopes (International Astronomical Union. Symposium no. 27ed.), London, New York: Academic Press, p.234 The original Dutch telescopes were composed of a convex and a concave lens—telescopes that are constructed this way do not invert the image. Lippershey's original design had only 3x magnification. Telescopes seem to have been made in the Netherlands in considerable numbers soon after this date of "invention", and rapidly found their way all over Europe. [15] Claims of prior invention Reproduction of one of the four optical devices that Zacharias Snijder in 1841 claimed were early telescopes built by Zacharias Janssen. Its actual function and creator has been disputed over the years. [16] [17]

The achromatic lens, which greatly reduced color aberrations in objective lenses and allowed for shorter and more functional telescopes, first appeared in a 1733 telescope made by Chester Moore Hall, who did not publicize it. John Dollond learned of Hall's invention [2] [3] and began producing telescopes using it in commercial quantities, starting in 1758.By 1626 knowledge of the telescope had spread to China when German Jesuit and astronomer Johann Adam Schall von Bell published Yuan jing shuo, (遠鏡說, Explanation of the Telescope) in Chinese and Latin. [43] Further refinements Refracting telescopes In 2008, Max Tegmark and Matias Zaldarriaga proposed a " Fast Fourier Transform Telescope" design in which the lenses and mirrors could be dispensed with altogether when computers become fast enough to perform all the necessary transforms. a few times per minute, and a computer adjusts many support forces on the primary mirror and the location of the secondary mirror

The next major development came in 1946 when Ryle and Vonberg (Ryle and Vonberg 1946) located a number of new cosmic radio sources by constructing a radio analogue of the Michelson interferometer. The signals from two radio antennas were added electronically to produce interference. Ryle and Vonberg's telescope used the rotation of the Earth to scan the sky in one dimension. With the development of larger arrays and of computers which could rapidly perform the necessary Fourier transforms, the first aperture synthesis imaging instruments were soon developed which could obtain high resolution images without the need of a giant parabolic reflector to perform the Fourier transform. This technique is now used in most radio astronomy observations. Radio astronomers soon developed the mathematical methods to perform aperture synthesis Fourier imaging using much larger arrays of telescopes —often spread across more than one continent. In the 1980s, the aperture synthesis technique was extended to visible light as well as infrared astronomy, providing the first very high resolution optical and infrared images of nearby stars. There is a wide variety of telescope available on the market, and it pays to do research before buying. Our guide below provides a look at three different types at either end of the price spectrum. 2 refractors for beginners Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 70AZ refractor Celestron StarSense Explorer LT 70AZ refractor review Wade, Nicholas J.; Finger, Stanley (2001), "The eye as an optical instrument: from camera obscura to Helmholtz's perspective", Perception, 30 (10): 1157–1177, doi: 10.1068/p3210, PMID 11721819, S2CID 8185797 I looked. And looked. And looked. And then I gasped. I couldn’t believe what I was seeing. There in my telescope was the Moon — the actual Moon. It was the most real thing I’d ever seen. And it was beautiful. There were craters just like in the pictures, but even more surprising to me was the particular and peculiar greyness of the lunar surface contrasted with the dark blue sky. I’d never seen the Moon in colour before and the view was stunningly unlike anything I’d expected. Albert Van Helden; Sven Dupré; Rob van Gent (2010). The Origins of the Telescope.

William Gascoigne was the first who commanded a chief advantage of the form of telescope suggested by Kepler: that a small material object could be placed at the common focal plane of the objective and the eyepiece. This led to his invention of the micrometer, and his application of telescopic sights to precision astronomical instruments. It was not until about the middle of the 17th century that Kepler's telescope came into general use: not so much because of the advantages pointed out by Gascoigne, but because its field of view was much larger than in the Galilean telescope. [15] Comparatively heavy, they tend to be shorter lengthwise, and this compactness makes them ideal where storage space is limited.Dutch biologist and naturalist Pieter Harting claimed in 1858 that this shorter tube was an early microscope which he also attributed to Janssen, perpetuating the Janssen claim to both devices. The Newtonian design uses a parabolic primary mirror to collect and focus light from your celestial target, while a flat secondary mirror reflects it to the eyepiece. The first scope you linked to has a spherical primary, which means that this scope is what is generally referred to as a Bird-Jones telescope. That means that it has a correcting lens at the bottom of the focuser tube. It also means that it is very difficult to collimate.
