Newton and the Reflecting Telescope
1. A telescope is based generally upon the following principle: an image of some
distant object is formed by a lens – called the object lens – and this same image
is, in turn, observed by means of another lens – called the eyepiece. However,
if the telescope is to be any good at all, the object lens must be able to collect
the light rays from points of the observed object and focus them accurately. If
the rays from any given point of the object do not give an exact point image,
then the telescope suffers from optical confusion, or aberration.
