Advice for stirring your online community and fostering engagement
When you enter into any new area of science, you almost always find
yourself with a baffling new language of technical terms to learn before you can converse with the experts. This is certainly true in astronomy both in terms of terms that refer to the cosmos and terms that describe the tools of the trade, the most prevalent being the telescope. So to get us off of first base, let’s define some of the key terms that pertain to telescopes to help you be able to talk to them more intelligently. The first area of specialization in telescopes has to do with the types of telescopes people use. The three designs of telescopes that most people use are the Refractor, the Reflector and the Schmidt Cassegrain telescope. The refractor telescope uses a convex lens to focus the light on the eyepiece. The reflector telescope has a concave lens which means it bends in. It uses mirrors to focus the image that you eventually see. The Schmidt Cassegrain telescope uses an involved system of mirrors to capture the image you want to see. A binocular telescope uses a set of telescopes mounted and synchronized so your view of the sky is 3-D. Beyond the basic types, other terms refer to parts of the telescope or to the science behind how telescopes work. Collimation is a term for how well tuned the telescope is to give you a good clear image of what you are looking at. You want your telescope to have good collimation so you are not getting a false image of the celestial body. Aperture is a fancy word for how big the lens of your telescope is. But it’s an important word because the aperture of the lens is the key to how powerful your telescope is. Magnification has nothing to do with it, its all in the aperture.

There is an explanation for each variable, right behind itself.
Comment LinkIn their pre-sex interview, Cherie and AJ reveal that they have never been intimate with
each other, and have been waiting for this moment for quite some time.
Tourists have been going down regularly, but beyond a few men at work, little was to be seen. Some trophy fiend, most
probably some girl with the thought of a crazy patch, cut a large piece
out of one of these damask curtains; consequently
the governor has issued orders that no visitors shall
be admitted, and the Yankees have gone down one
notch further in the scale where they already, by their own conduct,
hold a low position. Yet this exchange of charms interferes in no way with love-making, and the
young man wafts sweet kisses from his finger-tips to the fair - no, dark - damsel, and enjoys it as much as if that
black, silky down on her lip were fringing the gateway to his stomach.
The young ladies all wore their dresses just reaching their
knees, and the fancy boots displayed were something marvelous;
satin of all shades, embroidered with gold and silver,
and trimmed with flowers.
