The 2 meter diameter Alfred Jensch Telescope at the Karl Schwarzschild Observatory in Tautenburg, Thuringia, Germany is the largest Schmidt camera in the world. Because of its wide field of view, the Schmidt camera is typically used as a survey instrument, for research programs in which a large amount of sky must be covered.
Telescopes can be classified by optical design or mechanical design/construction. Telescopes can also be classified by where they are placed, such as space telescopes . One major determining factor is type of light, or particle being observed including devices referred to as "telescopes" that do not form an image or use optics.
The Advanced Camera for Surveys in the clean room at the Goddard Space Flight Center in Maryland, prior to its installation on the Hubble Space Telescope Astronauts remove the FOC to make room for the ACS in 2002 The STS-125, shown here on the launchpad, went on to repair the Advanced Camera for Surveys and returned the crew safely back to Earth
The camera can take a picture every 30 seconds, which will generate 20 terabytes of data every 24 hours, as much as the average person watching Netflix for three years, or listening to Spotify for ...
Maksutov's 1944 design was the first-published meniscus telescope design, and was published in the widely-read Journal of the Optical Society of America. [11] [12] [7] This led to professional and amateur designers almost immediately experimenting with variations, including Newtonian, Cassegrain, and wide-field camera designs.

The telescope is intended for high-quality research, and they intended to equip the telescope with a CCD camera for Astrophotography. [10] TacSat-2 observation system, an experimental satellite launched in 2006, included a 0.5-meter telescope. RCOS telescopes have also been known to be used by amateur astronomers. [11]
Since it was too difficult to bring the HST back to earth for repairs the engineers considered everything from replacing the telescope's secondary mirror by sending a spacewalking astronaut into the telescope's optical tube, to installing a circular shade around the opening of the tube, which would reduce the aperture and improving the focus by ...
