... Большинству любителей недоступны крупные телескопы типа как Алькор и Мицар,и они останавливают свой выбор на таких недорогих компактных и моблильных инструметнах как зрительные трубы и монокуляры. Самые распространенные среди них - ЗРТ-457 и МП 20х60. За три года работы с этими инструментами я выявил не мало их скрытых достоинств, впрочем как и недостатков и хочу ниже в кратце рассказать о них. ... Поговорим об оптических достоинствах трубы. Они несколько хуже, чем у монокуляра. ...

The radio-telescope. The radio-telescopes are the great sized constructions. The most spread type of the radio-telescope is a construction the basic element of which is a whole metallic mirror of a parabolic form. The mirror reflects the radiowaves falling on it, so they gather near the focus and are able to be caught by the special unit- irradiator. Then the signal is strengthened and changed into the form convenient for a registration and analysis. ... Back . ...
