Catadioptric Telescopes: A Complete Guide

Catadioptric Telescopes: Introduction While both reflecting and refracting models continued improving over the years, advancements in lens technology outside the field of telescopy led to the development of the catadioptric telescope – a combination of refracting (lenses) and reflecting (mirrors) optics. To provide an example, in 1820, physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel developed the prominent catadioptric lighthouse […]
