... BTA and RATAN-600 are largest optical and radio telescopes in Russia. ... Antenna of RATAN radio telescope consist of 576-m circle of 895 elements (2 x 11.5 m), which could use as four independent sectors (225 elements) of that reflector (named: North, South, West and East). Four different feed-cabines (N1,2,3,5) with secondary mirrors could simulteniously collect radio emission from these four sectors and be used in programs of Continuum , Spectral and Solar observations. ...

Magnification (Power) And Using Eyepieces . ... To determine power in a telescope, divide the focal length of the telescope by the focal length of the eyepiece. By exchanging an eyepiece of one focal length for another, you can increase or decrease the power of the telescope. For example, a 25mm eyepiece used on a telescope with a 1000mm focal length would yield a power of 40x (1000 / 25 = 40) and a 10mm eyepiece used on the same telescope would yield a power of 100x (1000 / 10 = 100). ...
