#reflecting_telescope__reflector optical telescope consisting of a large concave mirror that produces an image that is magnified by the eyepiece
supertype: #optical_telescope__opticaltelescope an astronomical telescope designed to collect and record light from cosmic sources
part: #parabolic_mirror
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
