VISTA is a 4-m class wide field survey telescope for the southern hemisphere, equipped with a near infrared camera (1.65 degree diameter field of view at VISTA's nominal pixel size) containing 67 million pixels of mean size 0.34 arcsec and available broad band filters at Z,Y,J,H,K s and a narrow band filter at 1.18 micron. A wide field visible camera, if constructed, could also be used on VISTA. ... Tile . ... ESO VISTA Public Surveys . ...

... Meade Instruments Corporation . ... How to Calculate Power . How to Calculate Power: The magnification, or power, at which a telescope is operating is a function of the focal length of the telescope's main (objective) lens (or primary mirror) and the focal length of the eyepiece employed. ... Example: The Meade DS-2070AT telescope has an objective lens focal length of 700mm; when this telescope is used with a 25mm eyepiece, a power of 700/25 = 28 power (written as "28x") results. ... about meade | ...

... Planets . ... Exoplanets . ... After the discovery of powerful telescopes we were able to see further into our Solar System and discover many distant objects and dwarf planets.€а However within the last 16 years astronomers have started to dedicate much more time to the search of other worlds in orbit around other stars beyond the realm of our Solar System. ... However the closest star with a known exoplanet is the star Epsilon Eridani which is a mere 10.4 light years away from planet Earth. ...
