#astronomical_telescope  any telescope designed to collect and record electromagnetic radiation from cosmic sources
  supertype:  telescope__scope  a magnifier of images of distant objects
  subtype:  optical_telescope__opticaltelescope  an astronomical telescope designed to collect and record light from cosmic sources
     subtype:  reflecting_telescope__reflector  optical telescope consisting of a large concave mirror that produces an image that is magnified by the eyepiece
        subtype:  Cassegrainian_telescope__Gregorian_telescope  a reflecting telescope that has a paraboloidal primary mirror and a hyperboloidal secondary mirror; light is brought to a focus through an aperture in the center of the primary mirror
        subtype:  coude_telescope__coudetelescope__coude_system__coudesystem  a reflecting telescope so constructed that the light is led to a plate holder or spectrograph
        subtype:  Herschelian_telescope__off-axis_reflector  a reflecting telescope with the mirror slightly tilted to throw the image to the side where it can be viewed
        subtype:  Maksutov_telescope  reflecting telescope in which the aberration of the concave mirror is reduced by a meniscus lens
        subtype:  Newtonian_telescope__Newtonian_reflector  reflecting telescope in which the image is viewed through an eyepiece perpendicular to main axis
        subtype:  Schmidt_telescope__Schmidt_camera  reflecting telescope that has plate that corrects for aberration so a wide area of sky can be photographed
     subtype:  refracting_telescope  optical telescope that has a large convex lens that produces an image that is viewed through the eyepiece
        subtype:  field_glass__fieldglas__glass__glas__spyglas  a small refracting telescope
        subtype:  Galilean_telescope  a type of refracting telescope that is no longer used in astronomy
  subtype:  radio_telescope__radiotelescope__radio_reflector__radioreflector  astronomical telescope that picks up electromagnetic radiations in the radio-frequency range from extra-terrestrial sources
     subtype:  radio_interferometer__radiointerferometer  radio telescope that uses interference patterns from two antennas instead of a parabolic antenna
