optical telescope astroweb electromagnetic telescope

Polar-disk equatorial telescope in degrees, minutes, seconds (N or S) height above sea level in meters the person, company or institution that constructed the mounting ambient equatorial telescope equatorial with polar-disk in degrees, minutes, seconds (E or W)

reflector the person, company or institution that created the mirror equal to aperture (except for Schmidt which has aperture smaller than mirror diameter) material and other engineering details or primary mirror diameter electromagnetic telescope A device for gathering and amplifying light or other energy by means of a mirror.
