Book excerpt: Excerpt from By Starlight and Moonlight With the Warner Swasey Prism Terrestrial Telescope: Some Easy Astronomical Observations The objective is 2 inches in diameter, clear aperture. Two eye-pieces are provided, magnifying respectively 25 and 50 diam eters. The telescope tube and the alt-azimuth mounting are made of aluminum. The folding tripod is of carefully selected ash. All are contained in a neat leather-covered carrying case; total weight only twelve pounds. Weight of telescope with its tripod and mounting, apart from case, but six and a half pounds. The high quality of its optical equipment, and the simplicity and adequacy of its mechanical provisions, make it superior to any similar telescope upon the market for the camper, the traveler, the motor-tourist, the surveyor, or the marksman upon the rifle-range. It is especially adapted for porch, seaside and general use. While thus designed strictly as a terrestrial telescope, its purchasers have also found it of much interest and value in the field of amateur astronomy. It is not presented as - in the tech nical sense - an astronomical telescope; and yet its quality is so superior that its efficiency is actually greater than that of many larger astronomical telescopes heretofore offered to the public. The ease with which it can be moved from place to place in the observation of moon and stars, its sharp definition and breadth of field, combined with the precision and steadiness with which the instrument may be pointed and controlled, have brought many expressions of satisfaction from those who having first purchased it as a terrestrial telescope have subsequently tested it in their observations of celestial objects. To respond to the interest and the demand thus indicated, and to illustrate, for beginners, some of the simple astronomical uses of the Warner Swasey Prism Terrestrial, this little booklet has been prepared.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from By Starlight and Moonlight With the Warner Swasey Prism Terrestrial Telescope: Some Easy Astronomical Observations This Porro Prism instrument represents the highest development in Terrestrial Telescopes. Its relation to the ordinary telescope is the same as that of our Prism Binocular to the old type of field-glass. It is remarkable for its large field, brilliant illumination and clear definition. The objective is 2 inches in diameter, clear aperture. Two eye-pieces are provided, magnifying respectively 25 and 50 diameters. The telescope tube and the alt-azimuth mounting are made of aluminum. The folding tripod is of carefully selected ash. All are contained in a neat leather-covered carrying case; total weight only twelve pounds. Weight of telescope with its tripod and mounting, apart from case, but six and a half pounds. The high quality of its optical equipment, and the simplicity and adequacy of its mechanical provisions, make it superior to any similar telescope upon the market for the camper, the traveler, the motor-tourist, the surveyor, or the marksman upon the rifle-range.

It is not presented as - in the technical sense - an astronomical telescope; and yet its quality is so superior that its efficiency is actually greater than that of many larger astronomical telescopes heretofore offered to the public. The ease with which it can be moved from place to place in the observation of moon and stars, its sharp definition and breadth of field, combined with the precision and steadiness with which the instrument may be "pointed" and controlled, have brought many expressions of satisfaction from those who having first purchased it as a terrestrial telescope have subsequently tested it in their observations of celestial objects. To respond to the interest and the demand thus indicated, and to illustrate, for beginners, some of the simple astronomical uses of the Warner & Swasey "Prism Terrestrial," this little booklet has been prepared. Our long experience in making "Optik Tubes" of all sizes, from the great Lick and Yerkes Telescopes to the Telescopic Gun Sights, Range Finders, Sextants, etc., used by the Army and Navy, especially qualifies us to develop from both a scientific and practical standpoint, the highest type of Porro Prism Telescope.

Download or read book Twenty Five Astronomical Observations That Changed the World written by Michael Marett-Crosby and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-06-28 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Twenty-Five Astronomical Observations That Changed the World" takes twenty-five journeys through space, back in time and into human history. We begin with the simplest sight of the Tycho Crater on the Moon, through a repeat of Galileo's observations of Jupiter's moons, and then move out towards the nebulae, stars, and galaxies. The astronomical observations repeat the original groundbreaking discoveries that have changed our understanding of science and ourselves. This title contains graded observing challenges from the straightforward to the more difficult (in chapter order). It offers clear observing tips and lots of practical help, presuming no prior in-depth knowledge of equipment. Binoculars and/or a small astronomical telescope are all that is required for most of the observations. Secondly, it explores for each observation the science of what is seen, adding to the knowledge and enjoyment of amateur astronomers and offering lots of reading for the cloudy nights when there is not a star in view. Thirdly, the book puts the amateur astronomers' observations into a wider perspective. "Twenty-Five Astronomical Observations That Changed the World" makes the observer part of that great story of discovery. Each chapter, each observing challenge, shows how to observe and then how to look with understanding. The projects begin with practicalities: where the object is, how best is it observed and with what appropriate equipment (usually a small-to-medium aperture amateur telescope, binoculars, even the naked eye). "Twenty-Five Astronomical Observations that Changed the World" guides even the inexperienced amateur astronomer - beginners can use the book - around a variety of night-sky objects, and reminds the more experienced how they can best be seen. These practical observations put us in contact with all the history and culture surrounding them: through scientific speculation and literature to those first fuzzy images made in 1959 by the Russian space probe Luna 3.
